In the foreground, rows of men and some women sit on the floor in white dhotis and saffron-orange garments, many wearing rudraksha malas, and several bare-chested men sit with sacred threads and gold-bordered cloth. Hanging colourful lanterns and decorations fill the ceiling. At left, an ornate golden shrine or deity murti is visible, with a golden canopy and a raised dais; a figure in orange stands near the centre. Behind the seated rows, a large crowd of onlookers stands and sits in white and coloured clothing. Brass pots and small instruments lie near the front, and a drum is visible at lower right.
