A crowded indoor hall with a corrugated metal roof and orange steel beams, where many people in white clothes and some in red or pink saris pack together to tour the campus. Foreground women with long braided hair, one wearing glasses and a white shawl, carry yellow and pink bags. Behind them, devotees move past a lime-green and maroon draped curtain, gold ornate ritual objects and a gilded palanquin-like structure, with a gold serpent-headed object at right. The scene reads as a temple-style pilgrimage tour.
