A photograph inside a large temple hall with a polished white marble floor. Several women sit on the floor and on small chairs preparing decorative umbrellas: pink, red, green and yellow canopies edged with gold trim and silver fringe, with long wooden handles and silver finials. One woman in a teal salwar kameez sits at left and another in a maroon and brown sari works at right, adjusting the fringe. Additional umbrellas lie on the floor in the foreground, and gold-coloured altar structures and a red-draped stage appear in the background.
