A seated group of young women and girls in saffron-orange saris with red borders and rudraksha malas sits on the floor of a temple hall, with white vibhuti lines on their foreheads. Many hold clasped hands, and small plastic containers with bananas, flowers and offerings sit before them. Behind them, seated devotees in red, orange and white clothing face forward in a satsang or darshan setting, with a red carpet, chairs and temple decorations visible in the background. A tiled wall with a golden shrine-like structure and framed images is visible at the top of the frame.

Two young shaved-headed boys in saffron-orange robes sit on the floor performing a puja before a small dark stone deity murti on a bamboo mat, surrounded by red and white flower petals and white flowers on a silver tray. The boy on the left, wearing glasses and a rudraksha mala, dabs red powder near the murti while the boy on the right, in a saffron wrap with a red-marked white tilak, chants with his mouth open. Behind them a monk in orange with a white forehead tilak chants, and a large seated crowd in white and red clothing raises open palms in devotion. A small oil lamp stands at the left edge. The setting is an indoor hall with a light tiled floor.

In the foreground a man with a shaved head holds a small brass vessel and a lamp; beside him a seated man lifts a small oil lamp. Brass plates and trays with flower offerings, lit oil lamps, and small dishes line the white floor on red cloth mats. Warm blurred lights fill the background.
