Interior of a covered open-sided hall during an evening temple event, with a large crowd of seated devotees in white and pale clothes filling the floor in the foreground. Four people in saffron-orange robes stand near an ornately decorated altar at the far end, lit by warm lamps and decorated with garlands and draped pink cloth. A standing figure in white stands at the left edge near the wall. Strings of red triangular flags and small coloured paper lanterns in green, yellow and pink hang from the ceiling, and tall striped banners in red, blue and green line the walls. The scene is dim with bright lights at the altar.
