A photograph of an indoor hall with a raised tiled platform and an altar against the back wall. Two framed portraits hang above the altar, one of a deity and one of a bald man in orange robes. The altar has a small deity murti, brass lamps and a garland-decorated canopy with turquoise pillars. Several people in orange robes sit or stand on the platform, including a bald man sitting on the edge of the platform and a woman in orange seated on a white plastic chair. Men in white dhotis stand on the floor and steps, and a cameraman in a white shirt films the scene. A large marble floor fills the foreground.
