In the foreground are brass puja items: a lit oil lamp, a brass kalasha-style pot, a incense stick and small brass vessels set on wooden stands. Several boys wear orange robes, rudraksha malas and white forehead marks, with the central boy in the foreground chanting with eyes lifted. Others sit in the background, some in maroon cloth. The scene suggests a ritual or satsang gathering.
