A dense crowd of women and some men packed inside an indoor hall with wooden cupboards and cream walls. A man in an orange-saffron dhoti and orange head wrap stands at upper left, smiling and appearing to lean toward the people before him; he has a sacred thread and a bare upper body, and his presence reads as a person figure in a healing queue, though the face and body cues are uncertain. Foreground women wear saris in pink, green, mustard and red, with jasmine flowers woven into long braided hair, and several hold white paper slips. Many onlookers press forward in a line, some with gold necklaces and bindi markings.
