A photograph inside a dim temple corridor with stone walls and a dark ceiling. A man in an orange and gold saffron shawl with a multicoloured garland of yellow, red and white flowers stands at centre, holding offerings with both hands, with long dark hair and a beard; he is a probable Swamiji by the saffron-gold clothing, long swept hair and garland cues. Two priests flank him, one bare-chested in a white dhoti with a lavender-striped cloth and gold chain, the other bare-chested in a white dhoti with a pink-and-gold border and gold necklace, both with tilak marks. Behind them is a wall of small brass bells or lamps in a wooden lattice and a blue cloth hanging on the right. A camera operator in the left foreground films the procession.
