In the foreground a bare-chested man with a rudraksha mala and a white dhoti with gold border holds his palms together in prayer, with white-clad men and women sitting around him. Among the rows, a man in saffron-orange clothes sits with hands folded, and women wear teal, red and green saris. Brass lamps and a small brass vessel sit on the floor. No figure is identifiable as a person from appearance, so the role-based description stands.
