A photograph of a large covered hall with a corrugated roof and white walls, where a crowd of people sits on the floor in rows. Many wear white clothes, while several women and a few men wear orange or saffron garments. In the foreground, a group of white-clad people sit on a striped mat arranging rows of brass oil lamps (diyas) and small brass vessels.

Small decorative items such as brass elephants and figurines sit on a lower shelf at the left.
