Night-time outdoor bookstall and retail stand crowded with devotees examining items on white-draped tables. Tables display rows of books, booklets and pamphlets, rudraksha malas, small glass or brass oil lamp holders and other religious objects. A woman in a pink sari with a red bindi and gold earrings holds a rudraksha mala while a young girl with a pearl-hung hair ornament looks on. To the right, a woman in an orange printed sari and long grey braid, and another woman in a green sari, look at the goods. Behind them, a man in a white shirt and a woman in white stand near a gold-and-red decorated shrine or temple structure with lit lamps. Festival lights and a parked white bus appear in the background.
