A seated group inside a hall during a puja, with a woman in a cream and red sari holding a small brass bowl and a cloth-wrapped object near the front. A man in an orange shawl over white clothes sits beside a young boy in a navy shirt who bends forward over a pot or offering. A bald man in white rests his palms together, a man in white with glasses and a lanyard stands behind, and women in saris and salwar kameez sit at the right. A red and gold cloth draped table and a red-and-gold ceremonial item appear at the left edge, with gift boxes stacked at the right. A projection screen hangs on the wall behind them.
