A large crowd of devotees, mostly women in colourful saris and men in white dhotis and shirts, sits and stands under a open-sided hall with white walls and a corrugated roof. Tall decorated pillars wrapped in patterned cloth and draped with bunting line the space, and a red and gold altar area with flowers appears at the far end. Many women wear garlands, kumkum and gold necklaces; several hold flower garlands or wear marigold garlands and small rosette badges. The gathering appears to be a ceremonial programme in a hall, with attendees looking toward the front.

Rose petals in pink and red are heaped on plates and trays on the mat in front of the group. The attendees are attentive, facing forward toward an unseen focal point.

A photograph of a seated gathering of devotees inside a plain hall with pale blue walls, pillars and a concrete floor. In the foreground, women sit on the floor in white, yellow, orange and lavender saris; one woman in an orange sari with a maroon blouse wears a rudraksha mala and tilak. Children sit in front, including a girl in a green lace dress and a boy in a striped shirt. Men sit in white shirts and dhotis in the background, and a man in a red shirt sits among them. Everyone faces forward with attentive expressions. No a person candidate is visible in the frame.

Seated devotees fill a hall during an evening ritual, with brass pots and bowls on white square platforms and marigold petals scattered before them. In the foreground a woman in a blue sari with gold borders sits with hand to chin, beside a man in white dhoti and shirt and a shaved-headed man in white clothes. To the left a woman wears a purple sari with gold border, and a woman in a red blouse sits nearby. Behind them many people in white and colourful saris watch, some holding children. No single figure is clearly identifiable as a person from appearance cues, so no presence claim is made.
