Indoor hall prepared for a ritual: an orange upholstered throne with dark carved wooden arms sits against a deep red curtain. In front, a framed portrait of a smiling man in a white shirt rests on a wooden chair draped with white cloth and pink flowers. An orange mat with blue trim covers the floor, holding a steel bowl, a small brass vessel and green leaves. Two people in white dhoti and white sari stand near a microphone stand on the right, and a third figure in white is partly visible at the edge. A white pedestal fan stands at left.
