A photograph inside a stone temple hall with carved granite pillars and a dark stone floor. In the foreground, a figure in a white dhoti with a gold border walks with long dark hair and a small bindi, carrying flowers. Beside him, a figure in an orange-red saffron-toned robe with a white and yellow flower garland and a dark cloth over the shoulders walks barefoot, with a thin yellow line painted on the forehead. Behind them, a bare-chested man in a yellow-bordered dhoti and several men in white shirts and white dhotis walk through the passage. The scene looks like a temple procession or ritual movement.
