Other standing men in white shirts and dhotis and a standing older woman in an orange sari are at the back, near a wooden wheel and additional pillars.2009-07-13A photograph of a large hall filled with seated devotees, mostly women and girls, dressed in white and pastel saris, salwar kameez and orange or green garments, many with white and vibhuti marks on their foreheads and rudraksha malas.
