Large outdoor photo of many people seated in rows on red-brown stone steps, as at a ghat or tiered amphitheatre. Most wear white or light clothing; some bare-chested men in white dhotis, women in saris of pink, orange, green, blue and purple. Each seated person has a small brass oil lamp or ritual vessel in front of them, with many lamps lit across the steps. Some people stand at the lower left and right, and a white-clad attendant walks along the lower steps. Red and saffron flags are visible at the upper left, beside a light-coloured building with arched doorways. No one is clearly identifiable as a person from this distance.
