Among the devotees, a young woman in a white top with a rudraksha mala wears glasses, a woman in a green salwar kameez stands beside her, and a woman in a mustard bandhani sari is at right. A man in a grey shirt presses his palms together at left, and an older man in white kurta stands near the rail. Framed photographs hang on the orange side walls, and a loudspeaker is mounted at upper right.
