Women and young girls sit cross-legged in rows on a tiled hall floor, palms pressed together in namaste before banana leaf plates of food with rice, flowers and sweets, and small white cups. Most wear orange saris or yellow-and-white garments, some with yellow shawls. A large framed picture of a deity with a tree backdrop hangs above a stage with orange chairs and a laptop. The seated figures in the foreground keep their eyes closed in prayer, and a bald head is visible at the bottom edge.

Near the front centre, a man in a white shirt with a lanyard and a woman in a cream sari sit with hands folded beside a white-clad figure on a red-and-blue mat. A large banner backdrop and a camera on a tripod are visible at the top. Several white-clad attendants stand along the right wall.
