Photograph inside a temple corridor with bright tube lights and a painted banner of gods overhead. A grey-haired man in glasses and a white striped shirt holds the arm of a bare-chested man with long dark dreadlocks, wearing a white dhoti with gold border, a black crossbody bag, a gold necklace and red-brown rudraksha bracelets. Beside them a bearded man in an orange saffron robe and dark turban-style head wrap stands with hands together, wearing a large garland of white flowers, red roses and green leaves with colourful pompoms, and a saffron-robed attendant with a long staff follows behind. Blurred motion suggests people moving through the corridor.
