A photograph taken from behind a long-haired figure in a maroon-brown sari with a white and red flower garland draped over the shoulders, standing on a bright red carpet in a large open-sided pavilion. Rows of people in white and orange clothing stand with hands folded facing a raised shrine at the far end, decorated with gold and lit with lamps, with deity murti visible. The pavilion ceiling is hung with colourful tassels and paper lanterns, and tall trees surround the open sides. The person in the foreground is seen only from behind; no face is visible, so no identification is made from appearance.
