A seated group of priests and devotees performs a puja on a mat before brass plates holding offerings and small lamps. In the foreground, a shaven-headed man in orange-saffron robes sits cross-legged, holding a flower or offering in his hands. Beside him, men in white dhotis with sacred threads sit with their palms together and hold small brass vessels. Behind them, rows of women in yellow and white saris and men in white sit on a red carpet along a railing inside a temple hall, many holding offerings. The scene conveys a formal group ritual in progress.

Most attendees wear white dhoti-style garments and white shawls with lanyards, sitting cross-legged on an orange-red mat. Several men in the foreground have shaved heads and white-and-maroon sashes, and a few women in saris sit toward the back. No individual is clearly identifiable as a specific figure, so no a person candidate is confirmed.
