Interior of a bare, whitewashed hall with large windows, ceiling fans and hanging decorative cloth banners in red, orange and green. A man in a saffron-orange robe with a rudraksha mala and a white ceremonial garland walks across the concrete floor between two green mats; he has long swept-back hair and appears to be a sannyasi. Around him, devotees in white dhotis, saris and pastel salwar clothing walk in procession, some carrying small bundles or offering trays. A woman in an orange sari stands at right near a chair. Identification as a person is uncertain from appearance alone.
