A large crowd of devotees sits cross-legged on a white tiled hall floor during a group ritual, seen from behind. Most women wear white or cream saris with gold or yellow borders, with long braids and some wearing flowers; a few wear yellow or green tops and an orange shawl. Brass plates with offerings, small oil lamps and incense sticks sit in front of them. At the far end, a figure in white clothing stands near a golden shrine and a large screen shows a lit image of a seated figure. Some men are visible at the back, several bare-chested or in white dhotis. Nothing in the frame clearly identifies a specific person as a person, so no candidate is marked as present.
