A crowded warehouse storage area with breeze-block walls, yellow steel posts and fluorescent tube lights overhead. Stacks of rough wooden planks, cardboard boxes and rolled mats fill the back, along with a red wooden cart with spoked wheels and a folded yellow umbrella at right. Many people in mixed clothing crowd the aisles: a man in a pink shirt at left, women in white kurtas with orange shawls, a woman in a multicoloured print dress, a woman in a colourful striped sari, and a young girl in white. Some wear rudraksha-style beaded necklaces. Gold-framed panels lean against the wall at left.
