Many seated devotees in white clothes with orange-red shawls raise their hands in prayer or offering. In the foreground a woman in an orange-red shawl over white garments sits on a mat with palms pressed together. Brass oil lamps with multiple tiers stand at the right edge, and a wall air conditioner appears at the top left.
