A nighttime photograph of a procession at a temple gate with red-painted pillars and an ornate gold-scrolled iron grille behind. In the foreground, two young men in white dhotis and shawls with long garlands of white flowers and red blossoms walk side by side; the one on the left wears a pale yellow turban and the one on the right wears a tall ornate brocade headdress. Both wear gold chain necklaces. Behind them, a woman in a pink and gold sari and a woman in a red sari with a white flower garland follow, with a man in white also in the line. The procession appears to be a ceremonial walk through the temple precinct. No candidate for a person is visible in appearance.
