A large hall during a ritual gathering. In the foreground at left, a man with long dark swept-back hair, a gold necklace and a maroon wrap sits on a gold-trimmed raised seat with a red-and-orange cloth before him, holding a small object while facing the room. A tall silver trident stands beside him. Many rows of seated participants in orange and saffron robes face the central floor, with banana-leaf style plates and water bottles laid out on white mats. Other people in white clothes sit near the centre aisle, and a line of standing attendants in white is at the back of the hall beneath a wall of framed photographs.
