Indoor ritual scene in a hall with patterned carpet. A central figure with long dark hair wears a yellow marigold garland and gold necklace, and sits before a golden seated deity murti or statue that is being offered flowers and rituals. Around them, people in saffron, white and red garments tend the murti; a woman in white with a red blouse kneels and holds a bundle of flowers, a man in orange with a rudraksha mala sits at right, and a trident stands at left. Several other attendees in orange, pink and red saris and kurtas watch from behind. The figure's identity is not established by visible cues, so the a person field is unsure. Roughly a dozen or more people are visible.
