A photograph of a seated group of devotees in orange robes performing a puja in a large hall with cream walls and a tiled floor. In the foreground, several young women and girls in orange saris with white forehead marks and rudraksha malas sit cross-legged behind low white puja tables holding brass plates, small cups, a kumkum container, a lamp and flowers. Some are reciting or making offerings with their hands, and a man in orange at right holds his hands together in prayer. Behind them, more people sit and stand near a red curtain and a wall mirror, with a golden ornament visible at the upper left. The scene matches a paduka puja setting, with roughly 20 to 30 people visible.
