A line of women in white and cream saris, several with red or gold borders, queue along a whitewashed block wall in a dim interior toward a doorway glowing with lamplight. A man in an orange-saffron garment stands near the front of the line, facing the doorway. Women wear flowers in their hair and gold necklaces; one holds a folded garland. A red cloth hangs from the wall beside a white wooden box. The scene appears to be a temple or shrine visit during an evening observance.
