A woman in a rust-red sari with a gold border and a long mala of dark beads stands at right, holding a microphone and gesturing to her forehead while speaking. Beside her a young child in an orange cloth, with bare chest, beaded necklace and ash markings, holds a shallow brass bowl. Behind them stands a large ornate gold-coloured wall panel with relief figures. Seated devotees in white clothing fill the foreground with their backs to the camera, listening attentively. A red-and-multicolour mat covers the stage floor at right.
