A ceremonial puja in a tented hall with white draping and a golden canopy overhead. A bare-chested priest in white dhoti with a striped shawl and orange head cloth stands bowing and offering a tray of fruit and flowers to a seated figure on a gold-framed throne. The seated man wears a maroon turban with a jewel, a long rudraksha mala, gold necklaces and a maroon robe. Smoke rises from a fire at the lower right. Behind them, golden shrine panels, a decorated deity murti and a seated audience of women in saris and shawls. A fire vessel and oil lamps sit in front, and a colourful striped mat covers the platform.
