A seated crowd fills a hall with orange-and-cream walls, with yellow, orange and blue patterned banners hanging from the top. In the foreground, a shaved-headed man in an orange robe sits on an orange mat near the bottom edge. Behind him, rows of devotees in white kurtas and dhotis, saffron and blue clothing sit on the floor facing forward, many holding small wooden or cloth-wrapped items. A woman in a teal sari with a rudraksha-style mala sits at left, and a woman in white with glasses and a beaded mala sits beside a man in white. A woman in a blue salwar kameez with a white dupatta sits at right, next to a silver railing with a chain. No figure at the front is clearly wearing saffron or ornate a person-style adornments that would make a presence claim credible, so the identity remains uncertain.
