Seated devotees, mostly children and teenagers, sit on a tiled floor in rows during a ritual in an indoor hall. Many hold brass plates and small oil lamps with lit flames in front of them, and a few have brass vessels and flower or offering trays. A red curtain hangs by a window at the back, and a woman in a white sari and an older man in a white shirt sit among the group on the right. Several boys wear orange, red, purple and green shirts. The setting suggests a satsang or puja with oil lamps, with no visible deity or a person figure clearly identifiable.
