A photograph of a covered hall with a red carpet runway lined by steel railings, leading toward a shrine. A robed figure in orange-brown clothing and a beaded mala walks toward the camera along the carpet. Flanking the runway, standing people wear white dhotis and shawls, and others wear orange-brown robes. Tall decorated pillars with painted birds, flowers and yellow tassels stand along the sides, and a colourful deity backdrop glows at the far end under overhead lights.
