A ceremonial puja in an open pavilion with white draped walls and green leaf garlands. A seated man on a gold-and-red throne with a golden lion-form base wears an orange-red turban, an orange-red shawl, and a flower garland, and he is flanked by two large gold-trimmed ceremonial umbrellas. A trident-topped staff stands near the throne. In the foreground, a row of about six women in red and pink saris, with flower garlands, sit before brass pots and metal bowls. A woman in a white sari with gold border kneels at a square of yellow-brown bricks arranged for a homa, with brass lamps and offerings nearby. A shaven-headed man in white with a gold-bordered shawl and a headset microphone stands at the right edge, and another white-clad attendant is visible beside the throne.
