A domestic living room where devotees perform a padapuja or abhishekam ritual. A bald priest wearing a brown-and-orange cloth kneels near a silver lota or vessel and a brass pot, with fruit and flowers on a tray in the foreground. Behind him a young monk in saffron-orange robes with a rudraksha mala stands beside another shaven-headed sannyasi in orange, and a standing attendant in white with a sacred-thread garland holds a camera. A woman in a red and white saree kneels with folded hands on a striped mat, and a boy in a white shirt and glasses, a boy in a checked shirt and others in white kneel with palms pressed together. A wooden cabinet holds a television and speakers, and a standing man in a white shirt and striped shirt observes at the back. No a person candidate is clearly identifiable from appearance, so the role is described only.
