A photograph of a large seated congregation inside a temple hall during a Navaratri puja at Adi Kailaasa. Many devotees sit on the floor in orange and saffron clothing, many wearing rudraksha malas and flower garlands, hands folded in prayer. Several women in white and cream saris sit among them, and a woman in a cream sari with a red blouse sits in the foreground with a red-marked forehead. Girls in traditional dress with jasmine garlands and bindis sit in the front rows. A small deity shrine with gold decoration is visible at the left, and a gold-and-green throne stands behind the seated assembly against walls hung with framed religious pictures. Roughly thirty to forty people are visible.
