Evening ritual scene on red-brick temple steps lit by small oil lamps and brass vessels. Many seated devotees, mostly men and women, sit in rows, with bare-chested men in white dhotis and women in saris, including a woman in blue and a woman in a yellow-and-white sari with hands folded in prayer. A woman in an orange sari sits at right. Brass kalashas, oil lamps, incense sticks and small offering plates surround them. A cameraman with a film camera on a tripod is visible at lower right. No individual is clearly identifiable as a person from appearance, so no candidate is named.
