A photograph taken from behind a metal railing of a temple interior. In the foreground, a person with very long black dreadlocked hair faces away from the camera. In the centre, a man in an orange saffron robe and a gold necklace sits on a red mat with his head bowed and hands joined in front of him. A second man in white ritual clothing sits behind him on the right. Beyond them, a small deity murti and a red digital clock on a wall are visible, along with pink-walled architecture. Other people wearing orange clothing stand near the back. The seated figure in orange has distinctive long swept hair? Not visible; his head is shaved. The orange-robed figure is a priest-like devotee; the appearance cues are insufficient to confirm a person.
