A indoor hall event with devotees seated on white cloths and red carpet. In the foreground a woman in a teal and gold saree with white and orange garlands sits with hands in lap, and a bearded man in grey shirt and white dhoti sits with palms joined in namaste. A girl in a teal and maroon dress and a young man in white kurta also wear garlands. Behind them, saffron-robed sadhus sit on white chairs. At the top right, a bearded man in orange robes and a rudraksha mala sits on a raised red-cushioned throne-like seat, appearing to be the presiding figure; the appearance is consistent with a person but cues are limited, so identity is uncertain. Brass trumpet-like instruments are visible at right, and a small boy lies on the mat in the foreground.
