Smoke or incense haze fills the room, with bright windows high on the back wall. In the right foreground a man in a white dhoti and shirt with a white garland and folded hands sits near a woman in a green sari. In the centre a grey-haired man in white holds an object near a small oil lamp on the floor. Throughout the crowd are men in white shirts and women in yellow, orange and red saris, several with garlands. The setting appears to be a ritual gathering or puja.
