A seated audience fills a hall at a Navaratri event, with rows of people in white shirts and dhotis or trousers on white plastic chairs. Many wear rudraksha malas and lanyard badges; one man in a light blue shirt and grey trousers has a brown bag at his feet beside an orange shopping bag. A woman in white sits at the left edge and a small child stands among the seats. Bookshelves with books and framed pictures line the back wall, and a striped rug lies on the floor at left.
