In the foreground a woman in a yellow sari with a purple border sits with palms pressed together in namaste, while a man in a white shirt with a marigold garland and a bracelet also folds his hands. Behind them other participants wear white, red and green clothes, and one man bends forward offering a plate. At the lower right a figure in an orange turban and saffron robe with long dark hair sits at the tables, with oil lamps burning on the trays. Red walls and a small television mounted above complete the hall setting.
