Indoor temple-corridor scene at night with bright tube lights. A framed deity print of a seated goddess with a green radiant halo hangs on the wall above. In the foreground, a bald man with rudraksha beads and a red-brown shawl stands at left, facing a seated figure in orange-saffron wrap with a yellow marigold garland on the head, who is sitting at a black metal railing. Behind them, a man in a white dhoti with a bare chest and a blue-and-orange shawl and garland holds a folded paper; a man in a red turban and red-maroon garment stands beside a seated figure. Several bald priests and attendants in maroon and gold-trimmed robes, rudraksha malas and gold garlands stand along the corridor. Potted plants sit beyond the railing.
