Night photograph inside a temple corridor decorated with long swags of yellow and maroon marigold garlands strung across the ceiling. In the foreground two uniformed police officers in khaki shirts and peaked caps stand guard, one facing the camera and one with his back turned. Behind them a crowd of devotees moves through the hall, including men in white dhotis and shirts. Further back a figure in white with an orange-and-saffron shawl walks toward the inner sanctum, and a metal railing lines the right side with people in purple and yellow saris beyond it. Bright lights illuminate the marigold festoons.
