Interior of a large hall with white ceiling fans and hanging decorative cylindrical banners in red, yellow and blue. Several men in white dhotis and shawls stand and walk along a central aisle lined with orange cloth mats. Along both sides, banana leaf plates hold small white offerings and clay lamps. Some people in orange robes sit on the left, and a crowd in white clothing sits or stands in the background. Whether any of the standing men is a person cannot be determined from appearance, so no identification is made.2010-09-17A large hall with a tented, arched ceiling and hanging decorative banners in red, yellow and blue.
