A large group of devotees sits cross-legged on a red floor mat during an evening ritual at a temple hall. In the foreground, several bare-chested men wear white dhotis with gold borders and rudraksha malas, and one with a bindi-like mark. Behind them, women in white saris with gold borders and red shawls sit in rows. A golden bull statue (Nandi) stands among them, with gold pillars and a pink decorated altar at the upper left. Some participants appear to chant with eyes closed or hands in mudra. Small brass items and offerings lie on the floor.
