Photograph of a crowded night procession inside a stone temple with carved pillars and a green cloth canopy overhead. At centre, a man with long swept-back hair wears an orange-red garment with a shawl, a white flower garland, a gold necklace, and a yellow tilak on his forehead; the appearance cues are limited, so identity is uncertain. Around him, devotees in saffron and orange clothing, some in red saris, wear rudraksha malas, and a man in a pink shirt with a rudraksha mala stands nearby. Several people hold up mobile phones to take pictures, and a bare-chested man with a sacred thread stands to the left.
