A standing woman in an orange sari with a red border pours from a blue bucket toward the row. Seated devotees wear orange and red shawls; one woman in a pink top eats with her fingers. Sweets and offerings lie on the leaves. Framed pictures line the back wall, and a golden deity murti stands near the centre background.
