Interior of a marble-floored temple hall with two rows of seated devotees in white clothing facing a central aisle. Many wear white dhotis and saris, and some women hold brass kalasha pots topped with flowers and yellow fruit. Two men at right hold tall golden staffs with trident and ornate finials. A red and gold throne sits on a raised dais at the far end beneath a marigold and garland canopy, and a standing attendant in white stands near it. Large stone pillars line the hall. The scene suggests a devotional ceremony with offerings and ritual implements, with no clearly identifiable a person figure present in the visible area.
