Crowded temple hall where devotees gather around a long table of gilded ceremonial items, including ornate golden hand and head-shaped ritual pieces on orange cloth. Women in saris, salwar kameez and tunics, some with red and gold malas, and children in casual clothes lean over red velvet boxes. A man in white dhoti and shirt stands at right beside an ornate gilded arch and a decorative throne-like frame. Hanging orange and multicolour fabric banners and a red-and-gold festoon decorate the ceiling. Visitors appear to be browsing the display during a festival-period visit.
