A group of devotees sits cross-legged on a white tiled floor in a bright hall, stringing green mango leaves into long garlands for a festival decoration. Among them, a bald man with a long beard wears white clothing with an orange-yellow edge and works on a leaf strand in front of him. Nearby, a woman in a yellow top and others in white and blue sit among scattered leaves, while a bright lamp hangs from the ceiling. The scene is a preparatory decoration activity, with white-curtained windows and a pink-and-gold cushioned seat in the background.
