A photograph taken from behind a large seated congregation inside an open-sided hall with a corrugated roof and unfinished concrete block walls. Dozens of devotees in white clothing sit on the floor facing a raised shrine at the far end, where a deity murti stands under red cloth drapes, flanked by lamps and floral offerings. A standing figure in white with an orange shawl stands at the left edge near the wall, and a cameraman with a camera on his shoulder stands at the right by the drape. Trees are visible through the open side of the hall.
