Night photograph of a crowd moving through a temple passage at Tiruvannamalai, past a blue metal barred gate and yellow railings. Several men in white dhotis and white shirts wear rudraksha malas, and a group in saffron-orange shawls and white clothes walks in front. A uniformed police officer in khaki with a peaked cap leads in the foreground, and another officer in khaki stands to the left. A man holds a garland of yellow flowers. Stone pillars line the dark walkway under yellow lights. No individual with distinctive a person cues is clearly identifiable, so the a person field is unsure.
