Rows of seated devotees, mostly women in white, cream and pastel saris and some in orange, face a raised platform with red and white striped edging. On the platform, a woman in white sits beside a figure in orange robes with a shawl, both attending a ritual with brass plates, flowers and fruit set before them. Behind, a decorated deity murti or shrine stands under colourful banners, and a few people in white stand in the background. Devotees fill the foreground seats.
