A photograph of a long line of devotees standing behind metal stanchions and chains in an arched temple hall with ornate golden columns. A red-and-gold striped runner leads toward a golden throne with red cushions, where a figure in white robes stands near it. Many devotees hold hands in anjali mudra. In the foreground a man in a dark shirt wears a rudraksha mala and a gold pendant; an older man in white dhoti with a white-marked forehead presses palms together.
