A long covered hall with a concrete floor and woven straw mats laid down the middle. Rows of polished metal kalasha pots with bulbous bodies and narrow necks stand in a long line along the mats, extending toward the far end. The walls are white, with framed photo displays and a printed banner above the windows. Through the windows, a woman in a sari is visible inside a room, and a hanging loudspeaker is mounted near the ceiling. No one stands in the foreground of the hall; the scene is an empty preparation space for ceremonial pots.
