On the left, a large deity murti is decorated with a garland of yellow and red flowers and ornate gold jewellery. Two women in orange and red saris stand at the fire, one with hands raised; a woman in a white dhoti-style garment with gold trim stands beside them. Two shaven-headed men in orange and red robes with rudraksha malas kneel on the orange cloth, and a seated woman in orange and red garb sits on the right. Brass bowls and plates with yellow flowers are arranged on the mat, and a man in an orange robe holds a plate of marigolds near the fire. Microphones stand on the cloth at left.
