Several people in saffron and orange robes lead the group, including a figure wearing an orange garment with a black bag over the shoulder at left. Others wear white dhotis and shirts, and a woman in a pink sari and white-blouse woman appear among them. A uniformed police officer in khaki stands behind the group, and a painted red-and-gold guardian figure stands beside a green iron gate on the right. A ceiling light illuminates the corridor.2009-01-14A dense crowd fills a stone temple corridor with carved pillars and ornate ceiling brackets, lit by overhead tube lights. Most people are men, many bare-chested with white or ochre cloths, some wearing rudraksha or beaded necklaces; a few wear yellow and white clothing. Painted devotional banners hang from the pillars, and glass-covered deity shrines or offering enclosures line the far side. The image shows a packed temple procession or darshan line rather than a single identifiable ritual.2018-04-29November 11 20162016-11-11 +1 copiesA temple corridor with grey stone pillars and a dim interior. A bearded man in an orange dhoti and white shawl walks barefoot down the central passage, flanked by a man in a green shirt. Several other people in orange and white ritual clothes, along with a woman in a light sari, follow behind. On the right, a copper-coloured ornate iron gate stands beside a dried-leaf torana hanging from a pillar. A camera operator with a shoulder camera is visible at the left edge. A yellow and red barrier sits at the right. Pillars carry carved stone sculptures of a deity murti.2018-04-28A crowd of devotees walks along a long, pillared white temple corridor with carved lion brackets and a painted blue and red ceiling. In the distance, a glowing, illuminated palanquin-style shrine carries a deity murti during a procession. Many people wear white dhotis and white shirts, while women wear saris in pink, blue and green. A man in an orange shirt and a shirtless man in white dhoti walk in front, and a drum is visible near the center. A woman in a green-bordered white sari and a woman in a blue sari with folded hands join the procession. The scene suggests a temple ratha or palanquin procession in a corridor.2009-07-13August 02 20082008-08-02April 28 20182018-04-28July 30 20082008-07-30A photograph inside a long, pale stone corridor of a South Indian temple, with ornately carved columns and a painted ceiling of green and blue medallions under fluorescent lights. A crowd of devotees walks toward the far end, mostly women in white and cream saris with red and gold borders, plus a woman in a bright magenta sari and several men in white dhotis. At the far end, a glowing orange illuminated shrine-like palanquin carries a seated figure, possibly a deity murti or a person, under a pointed canopy. Several devotees walk barefoot on the stone floor in a procession.2009-07-13
