Photograph of a group of devotees walking through the long colonnaded corridor of a South Indian temple at night. The pillars are carved with rearing lion and yali motifs and the ceiling is painted with circular floral medallions; deity murti niches sit atop the walls. Most walkers wear white dhotis and shirts with saffron-orange shawls draped over their shoulders, and a few women wear white or red saris. One figure in the centre wears a long orange robe. A banner hangs on the right side of the corridor, and bicycles are parked along the edge. The group appears to be processing through the temple in a procession.
