Crowded outdoor-style hall with striped mats on the floor. A man seated on an ornate silver-and-red throne wears a maroon turban, a long garland of red and white flowers, and maroon robes; he leans forward to bless a small girl in a maroon dress with a bow-tied hairstyle, who stands before him with hands folded. Beside her, a woman in a pink and lavender sari with a black handbag bends forward, and another child in red stands at left. Behind them, devotees in white and colourful saris, some in white dhotis, fill the hall.
