Night photograph of a crowd on a temple street lit by bright floodlights, with gopuram-style temple architecture and shop fronts behind. In the foreground, several bare-chested men wear white dhotis with gold or coloured borders; one holds a metal staff with ornamental top. A man in the centre wears a dark turban and a garland of colourful flowers over a dark robe, and others wear rudraksha malas and forehead marks. No individual can be confidently identified as the a person from appearance alone, so the a person field is unsure.
