Temple interior with sandstone pillars carved with floral and figural reliefs, wrapped in bamboo scaffolding. A man in a long rust-red robe with a rudraksha mala and gold necklace stands with palms pressed together in namaste, flanked by a man in white dhoti and shawl with gold border holding a tall silver staff, and a man in orange robe seen from behind. Devotees in white and red clothing stand around them, and a young girl in a pink top watches at right. Evening light shows through openings. The robed figure in rust and gold appearance matches the page's a person naming only partially, so the identity is uncertain.

A night procession moves through a temple corridor with bright lights and a crowd behind. In the centre, a bare-chested man with his upper body uncovered wears a white dhoti with a blue-and-green striped cloth at the waist and a shawl-like wrap tied at the chest. Beside him, a man in a saffron-orange robe wears a white flower garland and a gold pendant, and carries a shawl draped over one shoulder. Other saffron-robed men with rudraksha malas and shaved heads walk nearby. On the right, a man in white with a yellow-bordered cloth and a rudraksha mala carries a long staff. Several shirted people and bystanders fill the background, with a yellow-lit deity murti area visible at the back.

Nearby stand a tall brass lamp stand and a brass oil lamp, with a trident-topped ritual staff at the right edge. Pale stone pillars and a beige wall form the background.
