On the rugs sit many brass plates, small brass lamps and stacks of translucent plastic containers with blue, orange and pink lids, arranged in long lines. White plastic chairs are set along the left wall, and a white canopy structure hangs overhead with colourful woven banners. A banner on the upper right displays a portrait and Tamil script. One person in a white outfit walks through the far left of the hall. No seated devotees are visible.

Brass plates and small bowls lie among the containers. In the background, two people in white dhoti-style clothing stand near the top left and a child in green and red moves near the middle, beside hanging banners and a large poster of a circular temple structure on the upper right wall.
