Many seated devotees, mostly women in colourful saris and shawls with headscarves, sit on a green floor covering while men stand along the back. In the foreground, a man in an orange turban and orange kurta sits cross-legged holding a folded yellow cloth, beside a bearded elderly man in white kurta and white turban. Behind them, a standing man in an orange robe and turban and a woman in a white sari stand near the back wall. Exactly what the event is cannot be determined from the image, so no ritual is named. Hanging orange fabric and a white table with items complete the tent setting.
