Interior of a small temple-like hall with green walls, a blue-painted ceiling beam and a ceiling fan. Two red-and-white striped pillars frame a path covered with yellow and orange flower petals and red rose petals leading toward an inner doorway. Five men stand in the hall: an older man in white shirt and glasses at left, a man in orange dhoti and a man in white dhoti and shirt near the path, and two men in white shirts at right, one pointing toward the path. Framed photographs and a deity picture hang on the walls, and a figure stands in the far doorway.
