Small oil lamps and brass plates with offerings sit on the floor before them. Dark-haired children are seated among them, and a red banner hangs at the top left. A figure in orange robes stands at the far right near the back, and a few people sit on chairs along the back wall. No a person candidate is clearly visible.
