A photograph of a covered hall with a long red carpet running down the centre aisle toward a shrine. At the far end, a seated figure in orange robes sits on a raised orange-draped seat before a deity murti decorated with garlands and a golden arch. Peach and red curtains frame the shrine. Rows of seated devotees fill both sides of the aisle, many in white clothes, with some women in orange and blue saris. Standing attendants in white robes stand near the seat. Metal railings line the aisle and loudspeakers hang on the walls. The seated figure in orange is a candidate for a person; the appearance cues are not distinctive enough to confirm identity.2010-07-03July 03 20102010-07-03July 21 20102010-07-21Interior view of a temple hall with an orange-painted wall and a corrugated metal roof, looking down a red carpet aisle toward a shrine.
