A seated group of devotees performs a ritual in a hall with a golden throne-like seat under a small ceremonial parasol at the centre. A woman in a red-orange sari sits on the golden seat. Around her, rows of people sit on striped mats in orange, saffron and red clothing, many with hands in anjali, and in front of them are banana-leaf plates of food with small bowls. On the left, men in white kurtas with orange shawls hold lit oil lamps and a ceremonial pot. A standing figure in orange-red robes stands on a raised platform at the back right, a large framed photo and a sign reading 'No Smoking, No Videography, No Photography, No Mobile Camera, No Audio Recording' are on the walls. A man in white with an orange shawl and a woman in white sit near the front. Hanging golden decorations are visible at the upper left.
