Inside a dim temple shrine with a lattice-screen window, a woman in a saffron-orange sari stands at right, long dark hair loose, facing a group of men in white. Two older men in white dhotis and shirts stand near the centre, one holding a folded white cloth and a small bag, while a man in dark clothing stands behind. On the floor in the foreground are a pile of damp grey clay or mud, a stone slab, and a metal bucket. The walls are weathered with peeling paint and a small notice is pinned on a pillar. The setting appears to be an old temple sanctum being inspected.2006-09-18A thatched open-sided shelter with bamboo lattice walls and a concrete floor.
