A dim covered hall lined with orange and pink pennant flags, with a crowd of people walking toward a brightly lit shrine at the far end. In the foreground, a man in a white shirt holds a drum wrapped in red fabric, and people in white dhotis and white shirts, some with orange shawls, move through the aisle. At the end, a decorated deity murti stands before pink drapes and hanging lights, with a kalasha-like arrangement near the altar. The scene suggests a procession or darshan line within a temple event.
