On the left, children and young women in salwar kameez and saris press their palms together in namaskar, including a girl in an orange top and a girl in pink. On the right, men in white shirts and white dhotis wait, with several holding folded papers and hands clasped. No deity murti, throne or ceremonial object is visible; the scene appears to be a darshan or registration line.
