An unfinished interior hall under a corrugated metal roof, supported by yellow-painted steel trusses. A large patterned fabric with peacock and paisley motifs hangs from the roof beams. On the right stands a gleaming gold-coloured bronze Nataraja, the dancing Shiva within a flaming arch, set on a low concrete plinth beside a lattice window. A doorway with a metal door opens to a dim inner room. The bare concrete floor and cinder-block walls show it is still under construction. No people are visible.
