A photograph inside a dim temple corridor with a long wooden handrail and tiled pillars. A figure in a saffron-orange robe and matching orange turban, wearing a white and pink flower garland, walks up a wooden staircase toward a doorway. Behind him, a younger bare-chested man with a garland follows, and several men in white dhotis and shirts, one with an orange shawl, stand along the rail. Ceiling tube lights and painted wall panels are visible. The orange-robed figure shows distinctive saffron clothing and turban cues, but the page does not state he is present, so identity is uncertain.
