A crowded night photograph inside a narrow staircase of a pink-walled house with a stone-tile wall on the right. Several men in white dhotis and shirts press up the stairs, with a bald saffron-and-gold clad sannyasi in the centre of the stairs, a man in a red-and-white shawl at the lower left, and a bald man in a blue shirt pressing his palms together at the lower right. Bright flash glare washes out the left side, and a leafy vine hangs by the window.

A woman in a white sari with a red beaded necklace and white flowers in her hair stands in the foreground, and a garland of yellow and red flowers hangs at left. Many onlookers in white and pastel shirts fill the background, some under a scaffold-like structure.2003-11-09A dim, crowded night scene in a temple corridor with stone walls, where many men and some women press together looking upward. In the right foreground, a man in an orange-red garment with a rudraksha-style bead necklace stands beside a man in a white shirt and a bald man in a light jacket. A man in a white shirt stands at the center-top. The crowd fills the frame and the light is warm and low. The orange-clad figure is a possible a person candidate, but the face and presence are not clearly established from appearance cues alone.2006-12-04Crowded indoor scene in a yellow-walled hall at a temple or ashram event.

Further back, saffron-clad figures and women in colourful saris gather around an ornate golden-trimmed doorway, with a person in an orange robe and red turban near the centre. Some attendees hold hands out in offering.

Behind and beside him, many men and boys in white and light shirts press close, some with hands raised, one holding a small child. A wooden-framed doorway, brick-patterned wall, and a gate hung with yellow flower strings appear in the background. Several people are partly visible at the edges. The figure in maroon cannot be confirmed from appearance, so the role is given as a person in maroon robes.2014-06-27 +1 copiesNight-time photograph of a crowded devotional scene.

A decorated deity murti with white garlands is visible at the upper right. Warm lamplight and bright flares dominate the frame.2014-07-01
