A Ganesha Chaturthi gathering in a temple hall with a large, orange-garlanded clay Ganesha murti on a decorated pedestal at right. A man with long hair, bare-chested and wearing an orange wrap, sits cross-legged on a raised wooden seat at left with his hands pressed in anjali, a small table and water bottles before him. Rows of women in orange and saffron saris sit on the floor with hands folded in prayer. Two young men in orange dhotis with rudraksha malas stand at right near the murti, one holding a lamp. Brass bells hang from the ceiling, a standing fan and a bronze figure stand in the middle, and a metal vessel sits in the foreground.
