A photograph of devotees standing in a long covered hall with a corrugated roof, decorated with hanging yellow paper or leaf garlands and painted cylindrical pillars in red, yellow and blue. A long red carpet runs down the center toward a distant altar area with flowers. Along metal railings on both sides, a crowd with hands in anjali mudra stands in line, including women in blue, green and patterned saris and men in white kurtas and light shirts. Several people wear white, one man in a white kurta and one in a light blue shirt with a shoulder bag and lanyard. The scene appears to be a queue or procession route for darshan.

Devotees line both sides of a red-carpeted aisle behind steel railings, pressing their palms together in namaskar.

Left, a woman in a teal shawl and white sari with a yellow-orange border joins her hands; right, men in white shirts and yellow garments are also in anjali mudra. Orange and cream walls surround the hall.
