A seated group on a green floor covering inside a tent-like hall with a corrugated white wall. A man with long dark hair wears a saffron-orange robe and a white bead mala, seated on a cushion with hands together, facing a woman in a white sari with a purple border who sits with her back to the camera. Beside them a woman in red with gold necklaces and a bindi sits near a young man in orange, and on the right a shaven-headed elder in orange-gold robes with gold bangles listens. A small brass cup and a red-and-gold bag rest on the cloth, with a booklet open on the floor. Behind them a deity murti draped in green cloth sits on a red-and-gold platform under a decorated canopy.
