A large indoor hall with white ceiling fans and colourful decorated pillars hangs with yellow and blue fabric. Hundreds of devotees in white clothes sit cross-legged on mats with palms pressed together in prayer, many wearing lanyards and rudraksha-style beads. Brass lamps and small offering plates with flowers and fruit sit before them. Near the back, a doorway shows a saffron cloth and a camera on a tripod. The scene suggests a homa or tharpanam ritual observance in a temple-style hall.
