A dense crowd of devotees presses around a central figure inside a dimly lit temple hall with a stone pillar on the left. A woman with long dark hair, a red bindi and a tilak on her forehead smiles at the centre, wearing an orange-and-saffron garment. Beside her, a bald man in glasses and a white shawl, with a tilak and a gold chain, stands among men in white shirts and dhotis, one with a rudraksha mala. Hands reach toward the group. A strip of light runs diagonally across the upper frame.
