A ritual scene in an indoor temple hall with a pink ornate throne on the left, its seated figure wearing a leopard-print cloth, a gold crown and a flower garland, holding a staff, with a lion sculpture at the base. Behind, a deity murti is decorated with garlands and a yellow cloth backdrop. Around a spread of brass vessels and offerings on a striped mat, roughly a dozen people sit in orange and white clothes, some bare-chested with white sacred threads, and a woman in a yellow sari and others in orange saris and white garments perform a puja or naivedhyam offering. Several persons appear partly seated on the floor, with a brass railing and a red curtain behind.
