A large outdoor-indoor hall with a high roof and open sides, lined with palm plants and columns, holds a seated assembly of many devotees in orange, red and white clothing. In the foreground a woman in a white sari with a red border sits facing the central area, with a golden throne-like seat with carved detailing at left, and a woman in white and red at left edge holds a metal ritual vessel. Several people sit on white cloths in front of banana-leaf plates with water bottles. A figure in the upper-left foreground seated near the golden throne wears saffron and orange garments; a shaved-headed monastic in orange sits at right beside a leaf-plate spread. The crowd is seated in rows, many with hands folded in prayer. No clearly identifiable a person candidate is established by appearance, so the role-based description is kept.
