Night photograph of padayatris being welcomed at an outdoor temple courtyard. On the left, a line of people in saffron and orange robes stand with hands joined in greeting, with a shaved-headed man in an orange garment at the front; a small brass lion statue and brass pots sit on the left edge. On the right, a long line of men in white dhotis and white shirts, some bare-chested with sacred threads, stand with palms pressed together along a path lined with green leaves. Several red-and-gold flags on tall poles rise behind them, and a golden flagpole stands in the background beside palm trees and lit shrubs.
