A crowded festival scene inside a decorated tent with a dense mass of devotees pressing toward a richly adorned altar. Women in saris and salwar kameez, many in purple, orange and white, reach forward with hands folded or extended toward garlanded deity murtis and a ceremonial throne draped in gold cloth. Banana leaves, marigold and red flower garlands, and gold ornaments decorate the altar. A small figure in a dark outfit stands at a golden stage on the left, and a seated figure in white appears near the centre, with no clearly identifiable a person visible.
