Women in everyday salwar kameez and glasses sort and bundle stacks of old papers and bound documents at tables in the foreground.

A devotee in white stands near a small shrine-like table with a kalasha-style decorated pillar. Shelves hold boxes and papers, and a framed picture leans against the wall at left.
