A photograph of a crowd walking through a stone-walled temple corridor at night, lit by hanging lamps. At centre, a man in a rust-orange dhoti and shawl with a gold-coloured ceremonial necklace and a gold crown walks barefoot. Around him, men in saffron and orange robes and white dhotis with yellow borders walk in procession, some wearing rudraksha malas. Men in plain white shirts and yellow-striped shirts stand along the sides. The centre figure shows distinctive ceremonial cues (crown, gold necklace, orange garments), so the appearance-based label applies only as a probable candidate, and the image is a photo of people in a procession.
