A seated congregation fills a hall decorated with rows of purple and white pennants and orange flags hanging from a metal truss roof, with coloured streamers and tinsel along the walls. Men and women in white ritual clothes, many with rudraksha or beaded necklaces, sit on the floor in front, with young children in white outfits among them. A woman in a green sari sits at right near a small child, and a standing figure at upper right wears a red blouse and white garment with hands together. No central figure can be clearly picked out as an appearance-based candidate, so the scene reads as a group gathering.
