Another woman wears a brown patterned saree and carries a white plastic bag, while a man in a light yellow shirt and white dhoti stands at right. A man in a blue checked shirt raises one arm toward the wall, apparently directing the line. Visible people number about ten, all ordinary devotees and volunteers; no identifiable a person figure is evident.
