A photograph of a long hall with a pale carpet runway between metal stanchion barriers, with lines of devotees standing on both sides. Several people in white dhoti and shawl-style clothing walk up the center aisle carrying a tray; a figure in front has a shaved head and is dressed in white. Attendees include women in saris and salwar kameez and men in shirts and trousers, one in a red checked shirt. Ceiling lights and a red-draped structure appear in the background. No clearly distinctive a person cues are visible, so the central figures are described by role only.
