A busy indoor hall with a dark red curtain and a patterned orange-and-blue banner behind a white-draped table. A devotee in an orange shawl stands at the table, a hand raised above a seated man's head as if blessing him, while another man in a white shirt with an orange scarf looks on. Several people in white shirts and orange scarves stand and wait nearby, and a woman in the foreground watches. On the table are trays of sweets, small booklets and pamphlets. No figure visible meets the appearance cues for a person, so the figures are described by role only.
