A crowded temple interior with bright light from an opening behind. In the centre, a man with long swept-back dark hair wears an orange saffron wrap, rudraksha mala beads and gold bangles, his palms pressed together in greeting.

Iron grilles, a hanging garland and a small orange cloth line the walls. A man in a red turban and uniform stands at the back, and a man in white with glasses in the foreground holds his hands in namaskar.
