Night photograph of a crowd walking past an illuminated temple shrine decorated with yellow and white garlands, with a deity murti visible in an ornate gateway. In the foreground, devotees include a man in a red and white checked shirt, a woman in a yellow-green sari with a bun, and a man in a green checked shirt with a white dhoti. A small framed portrait is held up near the shrine, but its subject is too indistinct to attribute. Lights and a dark background surround the procession.
