A temple corridor with a red carpet and steel railings. In the foreground a man with long hair, white tilak and forehead marking, wearing an orange-saffron dhoti with a gold border and an orange shawl, walks with eyes lowered. A rudraksha mala and gold beaded necklace hang on his chest; the appearance is uncertain, so he is described only as a man in ceremonial saffron attire. Behind him a line of orange-robed followers, some with white-painted arms and foreheads, walk with palms pressed together in anjali. Beyond the railing, a shrine holds golden deity murtis, garlanded with flowers, under an ornate golden arch.
