A photograph taken through a dim stone doorway of a temple sanctum. Several shaven-headed men in saffron-orange robes stand in the foreground, one with bare shoulders, facing inward toward a lit oil lamp and a glowing ritual fire or lamp inside. A deity murti is faintly visible in the dark interior. A green-and-white patterned cloth hangs at the left edge. Two or three figures are visible in the dark room beyond the doorway.

Two monks in the foreground hold brass items and appear to be passing or receiving offerings, while others stand behind them in the warm, dimly lit corridor. No clearly identifiable a person with long swept hair, crown, rudraksha or ornate adornments is visible, so the figures are described by role only as monks in orange robes.2012-05-29May 30 20122012-05-30May 29 20122012-05-29May 29 20122012-05-29 +1 copiesMay 29 20122012-05-29 +1 copiesMay 16 20122012-05-16 +1 copiesA dim temple interior passage seen from behind.
