A group of people walks barefoot through a long, pillared stone corridor of a temple, with carved columns on both sides and iron railings to the right. In the centre, a man in an orange saffron dhoti and shawl with a white band across his forehead walks forward, and beside him a man in orange robes with a red sash holds a folded white paper. Behind them, several men and women in white dhotis, white shirts and orange or red sashes follow in procession. The floor is worn stone with dark stains, and the scene feels like a padayatra along a temple path.2009-01-29May 21 20122012-05-21A photograph inside a dim temple corridor with iron grilled gates on the right.
