A long queue of men files along a red carpeted tent aisle beneath hanging colourful tassel decorations and white ceiling fabric. On the right, a seated figure sits on a golden throne with a gold canopy and red cushioned chairs in front, appearing to be a statue or depiction of a seated religious figure rather than a living person. Men in white kurtas and dhotis, pink and striped shirts, and jeans stand in line, some with orange sashes. Air conditioning units line the ceiling and walls.
