A dense crowd fills a long stone-pillared temple corridor during a procession at a temple event. Uniformed police in khaki caps and shirts push through the throng, one in the foreground facing the camera. Many men wear white dhotis and shirts, while several monks wear orange and saffron robes and orange or pink turbans. A red-draped palanquin or ratha-like carried object with garlands moves through the center. Tall black deity murti figures stand along the pillars, decorated with white and orange garlands, and a tall brass lamp stand. Strings of flowers hang from the ceiling. The crowd presses closely, with many people holding phones and cameras aloft.2008-02-18February 18 20082008-02-18February 18 20082008-02-18Crowded outdoor scene at a stone temple gateway with carved grey pillars and a colourful gopuram tower at left.
