A photograph of a line of women standing barefoot in a open-sided pavilion with a bamboo-slatted roof and blinds. They wear sarees and salwar kameez in white, cream, green, teal, orange, saffron and maroon, with one woman in a white saree with a gold border at the far left. Some hold their hands folded in front of them while waiting, and sunlight streams through the side openings onto the red-painted base. No a person depiction is visible; the setting appears to be a queue at an ashram-style hall.2007-01-02A long line of devotees waits inside an open-sided covered hall with a bamboo-screened wall and an orange-tiled roof, standing behind a long metal table.

Several have palms pressed together in prayer or hands folded at the waist, and one woman in green patterned trousers and a green scarf stands at the right. A few have vibhuti or tilak marks on their foreheads. A golden ceremonial palanquin or decorated structure is visible at the far left edge.
