A large group of devotees in saffron-orange robes sits cross-legged on a white marble floor during a ritual session in a temple hall. Many wear rudraksha malas and white or grey vibhuti marks on their foreheads. Several hold brass oil lamps (aarti) and small bells, and brass puja trays with flower petals, lamps and offerings sit in front of them. Some have hands folded in prayer, and one younger boy in front presses his palms together. A tall gold-framed shrine and a deity murti stand in the background, with paintings on the walls. Multiple people are visible across the frame, many in the foreground and midground.
