A row of standing women in white sarees with orange borders and men in white dhotis stand in line, and several seated men in white attire sit on red carpets at left. Small brass kalashas are arranged on the floor near a brick-lined fire pit, and brass lamps and a bronze deity murti stand at the shrine. Photo labels on the wall show other archive images.
