A seated man in an ornate gold throne with a tiger-striped cushion wears an orange-brown robe with a yellow-gold border, a dense orange rudraksha-style mala and gold necklaces, and sits barefoot before a golden tray of flowers and oil lamps. Beside him, a woman in white with orange lanyard and a woman in a white sari with red border cup their hands over lamps on silver plates; a man in white with a multicoloured striped shawl and a man in white at the lower edge join in. Brass hanging bells and lamps hang above, and a wall air conditioner and dark wall frame the room. Several people sit close, offering lamps and flower petals in a ritual setting.
