Night photograph in a temple corridor with grey stone pillars. A man in orange-red robes wears a thick rudraksha-style mala with gold ornaments and a white tripundra mark on his forehead; he walks smiling, with a white cloth on one wrist. Behind him follow a woman in a dark maroon sari with a flower in her hair, a bearded sadhu in orange robes, and another woman in an orange sari. A large orange cloth in the right foreground partly blurs a figure. A sign overhead reads Special Darshan Rs 50 and a framed portrait hangs on the wall. Several people are visible, the man in orange being the central figure of a procession toward the shrine.
