Photograph inside a weathered stone corridor of an ancient temple. A headless stone statue stands against the right wall, draped in an orange robe with gold trim and a belt, with a garland around its neck. In front, a shaved-headed man in white clothes kneels at a low table holding incense sticks and a bowl. A cluster of floral offerings, bananas, a coconut and vases sits on a gold-cloth-covered table, and a multicoloured woven mat lies on the floor. Five or so seated devotees in striped and checked shirts sit on the left. Two monks in orange robes stand in the distant corridor.
