Long white marble temple corridor lined with carved pillars topped with lion figures, hung with marigold garlands in orange and red bunting overhead. Dark stone deity statues stand along the right side near a shrine. Two people walk up the central aisle: one in white clothes and one in an orange-red sari, with a few other figures further back near workers and a yellow machine in the distance. The scene looks like a newly built temple hall being prepared for an event.
