Devotees seated on floor cushions and folding chairs in a temple hall watch a ceremony. Many women wear saris in purple, red, blue, green and orange, and one man in a white kurta sits at right with his hand raised to his face. Behind them, a row of colourful deity murtis, including figures in orange, yellow and red garments, stands on a raised platform beneath a draped backdrop. A glass display cabinet and small statues sit at left. The scene suggests a Meenakshi Tirukalyanam gathering.
