Night outdoor gathering on a dusty ground where a bright light or fire glows at the centre-back, with smoke rising at right. Many people stand in a crowd, mostly in white ritual clothes with some in saffron and orange robes. A large orange umbrella is raised near the centre, and a man at left wears a red cloth, a white shawl and a bracelet while a man beside him wears an orange cap. Several figures in orange sannyasi-style robes stand among the crowd. The scene appears to be a ceremony in progress, possibly a homa or ritual fire.
