A crowded indoor hall at a large event where many people in white and pale shirts press around a long counter piled with books, CDs, beaded malas and framed printed pictures. Several people hold up cash or bills toward vendors, and a few women wear red bindi and gold jewellery. A bald young man in white stands near the centre of the counter. Behind the crowd, banners and display booths line the hall, and tall ornamental pillars rise toward the roof.
