Photograph from behind of a row of seated participants in a temple hall with pink walls. Several people, mostly bare-backed with white dhoti-style cloths, sit on mats and adjust or tie their hair with both hands; one has a blond dreadlocked bun with white marks on the shoulder, another has a dark hair bun with gold hoop earrings and a red bindi-like mark. A framed deity picture hangs on the back wall and a blue sign is visible on the right. No identifiable a person figure is clearly present in the frame.
