Indoor temple ceremony at a hall with grey stone pillars and marigold garlands hanging from the ceiling. In the foreground, a decorated deity platform or altar is heaped with flower garlands in white, pink, red and purple, with a kalasha-like offering and a red cloth. Rows of devotees stand with palms pressed together in namaste. Most women wear white saris with gold borders and rudraksha or bead malas; one older woman in white stands near the centre. Men at the back wear white dhotis, some bare-chested with malas. Several pink and red decorative umbrellas hang overhead. The scene suggests a puja or darshan at the altar.
