A photograph inside a hall displaying many brass and copper ritual objects laid out on the floor: tall brass oil lamps (lamps), a copper kalasha-style vessel, brass bowls, bells, a conch-shaped ornament and gold-toned plates on a striped cloth. Two people in saffron-orange dhoti-style robes stand at the centre, one woman in an orange sari and a man bare-chested with an orange shawl and rudraksha-style beads, as visitors in white and pastel clothes and children watch from behind a barrier rope. A cameraman in orange filming stands at left. A portrait in the background is not legible enough to attribute. The scene reads as a display of sacred objects and an exhibition-style viewing.

A woman in an orange and gold sari with a red shawl stands at left, gesturing toward a crowd of visitors standing behind a metal stanchion barrier. Many men in white dhotis and shirts, women in salwars, and children, including a boy in a yellow striped shirt and a child in red, look on. Nobody here is identifiable as a distinctive candidate, so the presence of a person is unsure.2015-02-01February 01 20152015-02-01February 01 20152015-02-01Photograph inside a large hall with a corrugated roof and high windows, showing a long display of antique and traditional brass and wooden objects on a cloth-covered table, including oil lamps, bells, a mortar and pestle, wooden boxes and a tray.

An empty wooden armchair stands at the left edge.
