The screen shows devotees seated on the floor in front of a red-draped altar with deity murtis and framed images, offerings and flower arrangements. In the foreground panel, a man in a blue shirt sits with palms pressed together in anjali, a woman in a white and green sari bends forward in prayer, and another figure in dark clothing sits nearby. Other panels show further devotees and framed portraits. Blurred edges and the screen framing make the individuals indistinct. The people visible are on screen, not physically present in the room.
