A crowd of devotees presses toward a temple doorway with white walls and pillars, where a gold-coloured deity murti is visible inside the shrine. Many people face forward with hands raised in namaskar or pressed together, including a woman in a white top in the foreground with her arm raised. Others wear white, yellow and blue clothing; several have long dark hair in plaits. Green curtains frame the entrance and a green palm leaf decorates the pillar. The image is blurred and the scene is dense with people. No a person candidate is clearly identifiable among the visible people.
