Devotees stand in a dense row, with a man in a white cap and a checked blue shirt and a man with a blue backpack in the foreground, and a man in a bright orange kurta at right. Ahead, priests in white move around an ornate golden shrine hung with garlands, colourful lights and multiple deity murti, with red cloth draped across the floor and red and orange lanterns at left. A brass lamp stand rises at the right edge. No individual's face is clearly visible, and no figure can be confidently identified as a person from appearance.
