Inside a plain whitewashed hall with a red-trimmed roof frame and a decorated wooden doorway with red kolam-style borders, a crowd of women, girls and children gathers around a central seated figure. The figure wears an orange-red turban and orange garments and appears to be a deity murti or statue rather than a living person. A bearded man in white with folded hands stands at left near the group, and a man in a green shirt and white cap stands at right. Several women wear blue and red saris, a girl in a purple top holds a bundle, and barefoot children in mixed clothes stand close by, some holding steel plates.
