Plates of offerings and small food items sit on the floor in front, and water bottles and bags are placed among the participants. Some children are seated among the adults. Behind them, people in orange and white stand near pillars. The crowd is dense and fills most of the frame.

A large hall with a patterned gold-and-brown carpet holds many seated devotees dressed in white, most sitting cross-legged on mats with red-orange shawls and bags nearby. Several men in the foreground wear orange-red shawls and rudraksha malas; one man at centre has hands joined in anjali. Brass or metal stands with small offering plates and small oil lamps are arranged among the rows.
