Rows of devotees in white dhotis and saris, many with yellow and orange shawls, sit cross-legged on orange and blue mats facing a central fire lamp and a small burning flame near the front. A woman in a white sari with a yellow border stands at left near the fire, and a figure in white clothing kneels near the flame. Leaf plates with offerings sit before the rows. At the far end, an orange-cushioned throne stands on a raised dais with a dark backdrop, a seated figure in orange at its side, and a figure in white near it.
