Large dense crowd of seated devotees fills a walled courtyard at dusk, lit by a single street lamp on the left. Many wear white clothes with orange-saffron shawls or sashes, and a few wear yellow or green. Carved white bulls stand on top of the stone walls, and palm trees rise behind the wall. The scene suggests a discourse or satsang gathering, though no speaker is visible.
