Night-time outdoor gathering of devotees seated before a sacred fire pit, with a bright flame rising from a raised stone or brick fire altar in the lower right foreground. Many people wear orange or saffron shawls over white and grey clothes, several with hands pressed together in anjali mudra, some with eyes closed in prayer. A woman in an orange shawl sits centrally behind the fire, and a man in a white shirt with a lanyard stands at the upper right with palms joined. Chairs are arranged in rows under a dark night sky.
