Indoor scene in a home with a seated crowd of devotees, mostly women in saffron, purple, green and white saris, with hands pressed in anjali, while men in white shirts and dhotis stand or kneel at the front. A man in a white shirt and dhoti bends over a brass plate of flowers and offerings on the floor, and a woman with jasmine garlands in her hair kneels beside him. Decorative gold-yellow garlands hang on the grilled doors behind, and a framed picture hangs on the wall. No identifiable a person is visible in this frame, so the figure is not attributed.
