A dense crowd fills a stone temple corridor with ornate pillars at night. At the centre-right, a man in a dark swept-back turban and a bright floral garland with pink and yellow flowers smiles, his forehead marked with red and white. Beside him, a man in saffron-orange cloth wears layered rudraksha and beaded necklaces. Other devotees, some bare-chested with red and white markings, press in around them, and several uniformed police officers are visible at the left. Hands are pressed together in greeting. A red and white sign hangs on the pillar at top right.
