Inside a plain white-walled hall with a corrugated roof, a procession moves toward an open doorway strung with green leaves and orange flowers. Several people in saffron-orange robes walk under red and orange umbrellas, one holding a brass vessel. Attendants in white clothes with yellow sashes carry tall ornate pennant-shaped banners on poles. A woman in white stands at right beside a table draped in yellow cloth, hands folded in prayer. A wall clock and a Kannada notice board hang on the wall. No individual can be confidently identified from appearance, so roles are described only.
