Photograph of a group walking barefoot through a dimly lit temple corridor at night, lined with stone pillars and small stalls on the sides. In the centre a man in an orange-saffron dhoti and shawl wears a long rudraksha mala and walks with his hands folded, with a shaved or close-cropped head and a calm expression. Around him are monks and attendants in saffron and white dhotis, a man in a striped shirt and white trousers, and a uniformed police officer in olive green. A man in a white shirt and glasses walks in the foreground. Ceiling tube lights illuminate the hall, with a lit gateway visible at the far end.
