A seated puja inside a white marble temple hall with pink-tinged floor. Five people sit on mats facing a framed portrait of a long-haired figure in saffron robes with a rudraksha mala, set on a cushioned wicker-and-gold-fabric seat to the right. A figure in orange robes sits at the left near a brass plate of offerings; a man in white with a yellow shawl leads the ritual with raised hands, and another man in white with yellow shawl sits facing away. Two foreground men in pink and maroon shirts sit with their backs to the camera. Behind them stand two black deity statues in orange cloth, and a smaller framed portrait of the same figure hangs on a wooden stand near the doorway. Brass bowls, flower petals, a yellow cloth and a kalasha-like vessel are arranged on a patterned mat.
