A busy indoor market or sales hall with many people moving among low tables covered in colourful striped cloths and displayed brass and metal items. Seated women in saris, one in orange and another in red, sort or sell goods on the floor in the foreground, with brass lamp-like objects and curved metal pieces at the lower edge. Standing visitors browse; a bald man in a pink shirt with white trousers and a rudraksha mala, plus a woman in green with a white shawl, stand near the centre. Hanging decorative lanterns in orange, purple and yellow hang from the ceiling, with a standing fan at left.
