A seated group of devotees sits on grey carpet in a bright hall lined with rows of white and gold statues on shelves, with a large ornate deity murti and a gilded umbrella on the right. In the foreground a woman in a red and black jacket sits cross-legged beside a white cup, while others in white and pastel saris and kurtas sit facing the front, where a woman in a yellow sari stands near a wooden stand. Two long orange mats lie on the floor in front of the group. No individual is clearly identifiable as a person from appearance cues, so a person is set to none.
