A photograph of a dim stone passage inside a cave-like temple, with rough granite-block walls and a flat slab ceiling pierced by light slits. Wooden crates and pallets wrapped in tarpaulin are stacked along both sides, and paint buckets sit on the left. Several people walk toward a bright arched opening at the far end: a woman in a white sari with a sling bag, a man in a maroon shirt and tan trousers, and others in white and saffron-orange clothing.
