Several are leaning back or turning to talk, and the scene has a pale pink and white wall with a window and a small blue sign on the right. No figure is clearly identifiable as a person from appearance; they appear to be devotees or attendants.2006-11-10Photo of devotees standing in a line along a covered white walkway with red pillars and a corrugated roof, most with palms pressed together in anjali greeting.

A man in white shirt and dhoti stands nearby with a green cloth. Floral and red-patterned mats cover the floor.
