Open-sided pavilion with white pillars and palm plants outside. Three men in white ritual clothes sit on a red-patterned mat before a white fire platform with a small flame; one man in a white shirt holds an incense or ritual vessel. In the foreground, rows of small clay lamps fill a green-and-red mat. Behind them, a framed portrait of a woman in an orange sari, garlanded with flowers, rests on a wicker sofa with red cushions. A deity murti stands on a white pedestal among flowers and garlands. Visible people: three seated men plus a partial head at the bottom edge, so four total.
