Several people in orange robes sit cross-legged along the edge of the frame; one person's hand holds a small brass spoon over a brass vessel. Before them are brass oil lamps, one with a lit flame, a brass kalasha-style pot, small brass bowls and cups, green leaves, a conch shell, sliced offerings, and a dark stone slab with pink and cream ribbon-like pieces and small mushroom-shaped items. Hands of the seated people are visible at right. Ritual objects dominate the frame.
