Dozens of people in saffron-orange dhotis and matching saffron garments, many with rudraksha malas and beaded necklaces, form a moving circle and dance energetically. Men with bare chests and orange cloths stand on the right while women in orange and red saris and red shawls face them on the left. In the centre, several people in white ritual clothes stand on a red carpet, one in white with a red-bordered shawl. Gold deity statues and a framed portrait appear at the far end, and a figure in the foreground watches from behind.
