Behind the altar stands a deity murti pair draped in marigold garlands, with pink curtains at the sides. In front, a group of people in saffron and orange robes sit on mats around a spread of fruit, flowers, coconuts, sweets, banana leaves and kalasha-style offerings, with a small fire arrangement of wooden sticks and stacked white blocks. A man in white clothes with a garland sits near the centre, flanked by a saffron-robed seated figure, while a cameraman in white and orange kneels at the right edge and a crowd of seated and standing devotees in saffron, orange and white watches from the background.
