Outdoor ritual scene in a courtyard with a red-and-white painted wall and a tiled roof edge. In the foreground, a woman with long dark hair wears an orange sari and performs puja at a low table covered with a patterned cloth, holding a small lamp and offering marigold garlands and flowers. A brass lamp stands on the table. Another figure in orange with long hair and a garland stands in the left foreground near a red-and-orange canopy draped with marigold garlands. Behind them, men in white dhotis and shirts, some with orange shawls, stand on steps, one photographing with a camera and another in a white kurta with hands folded in namaskar. Onlookers in white and in collared shirts watch, and colourful banners hang on the right. A printed portrait banner is visible at the top.
