A dense crowd of devotees fills a bright temple hall behind a line of silver metal railings, watching an event in progress. Many wear white kurtas and saris, while several men wear maroon lanyards and a few wear orange or saffron garments. A young child in a red top is held near the center. Tall decorative pillars with red, yellow and blue patterned fabric and white dove emblems stand at the left, beside framed notices and a doorway. No single figure can be identified as a person in this view, so a person is set to unsure.
