A photograph of a long, dim colonnaded market corridor inside a temple complex, with white-painted pillars and a vaulted ceiling. Shops line both sides, selling colourful toys, framed religious prints, garlands, bangles and bags. Several people walk along the stone floor: a woman in a blue sari with gold border on the left, a woman in pink sari beside a child, a man in white dhoti and shirt at the right foreground, and others in white dhoti walking toward the far end. No one is clearly identifiable as a person, so the figure's identity is unclear among the visible people.
