A photograph of a temple corridor at night, with stone pillars and hanging lamps overhead. At centre, a man in a saffron-orange robe and a large garland of yellow and red flowers walks forward, with a gold pendant necklace and a tilak mark on his forehead; he has shorter hair and is not shown with the long swept-back hair or crown of the typical depiction. He is flanked by devotees in orange shawls and white dhotis and shirts, one carrying an orange cloth, and a man in a white shirt and dhoti with a white forehead mark stands at the right edge.
