Photograph of a temple corridor with a marigold and yellow-and-orange garland canopy strung along the pillared hall, with white Nandi bulls on the roof. A bald, bearded man in an orange saffron shawl and rudraksha-style beads walks down the steps with a crowd of devotees in white shirts and dhotis around him, one man in white holding a railing and another wearing a pink rosette. Many people fill the corridor behind them. The man in orange shows no distinctive long hair or crown, so his identity is uncertain.
