A crowded indoor hall with pale walls and wooden-shuttered windows. Many men in white shirts and white dhotis stand closely around a central group, some with hands folded in namaskar. A man in a white shirt at centre holds the front of a red-and-gold tray or cloth-covered object that several men are lifting and steadying. Women in saris, one in a teal shawl, and a small child stand among them. Behind them, people stand in the open doorway with a white bus visible outside. At lower right a man in an orange-saffron robe is seen from behind. One man's white shirt has a printed Dhyanapeetam logo with a figure in blue.
