A sunlit outdoor scene at a small corrugated-roof shrine with wooden pillars and orange-red walls. Sunlight bursts through the trees above, creating a bright lens flare. Many people sit on a concrete floor scattered with flower petals, offerings and small packets. Several men wear white kurtas and pale shirts; one woman in a red sari sits at left, and a bald man in white sits near the front. Two large yellow banners on the shrine front show printed portraits of a bearded saint in orange and Hindu deity imagery, but these are printed images, not people present. A man in a white kurta stands near the right, and a small white air conditioner unit sits beside the building.

Early morning sunlight streams through trees onto a corrugated-roof shrine building in Allahabad, with a bright sun flare across the frame. Around forty seated devotees in white, cream and checked shirts sit on a stone platform, many holding small items and looking down at their hands. Yellow banners on the shrine wall carry Hindi text and portraits, including a bearded man in a saffron-toned frame and smaller framed photographs. A standing man in white kurta stands near the banners, and the ground holds scattered flower petals and small oil lamps.2015-10-27October 27 20152015-10-27October 27 20152015-10-27October 27 20152015-10-27Photograph of a crowded outdoor temple scene beneath a large spreading tree.
