A red carpet runs down the centre aisle toward a distant lit altar area with coloured pillars. Metal railings line both sides of the aisle. Many devotees in white dhotis and white saris fill the rows, some holding small metal vessels, and several are seated on the floor with hands folded. Woven leaf-like decorations hang from the ceiling, and banners and framed pictures line the walls. Hundreds of people are visible, and the scene is too crowded to count precisely, though many are clearly visible in the foreground and sides.2008-12-31November 21 20112011-11-21
