A photograph of a festival procession in a temple corridor, with warm lamplight and pillars behind. At left, a man in a rust-red dhoti and wrap with a gold necklace, long dark hair swept back under a headband, wears a thick white and yellow flower garland and stands among saffron-robed and bare-chested priests. Beside him, a man with a red and white garland stands near a figure in a white sari, and a bare-backed attendant in a maroon and white cloth reaches toward them. On the right, men in white shirts and dhotis stand near a palanquin area with pink-clad figures visible, and a woman in a white sari is at centre. Several people are visible in the crowd. The man in red has long hair, a headband and a rudraksha-style necklace consistent with the page description, which is recorded here as a probable appearance match.
