Photograph inside a temple of several men in saffron and orange robes with rudraksha malas and gold ornaments. A central figure in an orange-red dhoti and gold necklace with a pink and green flower garland stands with palms pressed together in greeting, smiling. Beside him, an older bald man raises both hands overhead in devotion, wearing a rudraksha mala, gold chain and a saffron cloth over the shoulder. Behind them, a man in orange, a man in white dhoti with bare chest, and an attendant holding a round orange and gold ceremonial fan or umbrella. A gilded brass bull statue, possibly Nandi, sits at lower left beside a gold-trimmed temple pillar. Several onlookers stand in the dim background.
