A photograph of devotees gathered around a red and gold wooden palanquin or ratha decorated with orange marigold garlands at an indoor ashram hall. A woman in white with a grey-bordered cloth touches the structure while others in white, saffron-bordered and green saree-clad women stand close. Orange and marigold garlands hang from a gold-painted frame behind, with plastic chairs, a fan and folded fabric visible in the room. Kalasha-style offerings sit on a tray below. The scene suggests a puja or abhishekam being performed for the palanquin.
