Seated devotees in orange and saffron robes perform a ritual in a hall with a deep red curtain behind them. In the foreground a man with a red tilak on his forehead and hands joined in namaskar chants with eyes closed, beside a man in glasses with hands folded. Further back a bald priest in saffron and a younger man with clasped hands sit before a low tray holding brass vessels and offerings. A child is partly visible at the left edge. No figure is clearly identifiable as a person, so the a person field is unsure.
