A woman in white sari with a head cap stands at his right, holding a steel tray and serving at the front. Foreground devotees sit in rows on maroon mats, some bare-chested in white dhotis, others in orange and maroon saris, with a long line of water bottles and leaf-plates or offerings along the floor. The setting is an indoor hall with a large mirror-wall and fluorescent lights.
