Photo of a row of devotees seen from behind, seated in a temple hall during a puja. They are bare-chested and wear white dhotis with yellow borders, several with long dreadlocks or hair tied up. Their hands are raised to their hair in a ritual gesture, and some have white sacred ash marks on their backs and shoulders. A woman in the foreground with dark hair in a bun wears a red bindi, earrings and a thin sacred thread across her back. Blurred framed pictures hang on the pale pink wall behind them, with a small wall plaque at the top left corner, and offering plates sit in the foreground.
