A photograph taken inside a storage or workshop area with gold-painted temple elements lining both sides of a narrow passage, including carved pillars, a gilded elephant figure, and wooden panels. A long-haired figure with dark hair falling to the back, bare-shouldered and wearing a maroon-brown wrap, walks away from the camera toward a group. Nearby, a man in a white shirt and white trousers, a man in a white shirt with dark-rimmed glasses, a woman in an orange sari, and a man in orange robes with a rudraksha mala stand among the group, while others stand farther back. Timber, stone and a red brick wall fill the surroundings. Yellow fluorescent lights hang from a corrugated metal roof.
