Around her, several people in orange and white ritual clothes sit on the floor: a young man in white dhoti with a bare upper body and rudraksha beads, an older woman in an orange sari, and an older man in white shirt and dhoti who holds a flaming lamp over a brass plate. Brass vessels, fruit, and vases of orange and yellow lilies stand nearby, with bamboo blinds behind and a framed painting on the wall. A cameraman in the upper left records the scene.
