A crowded interior corridor of a South Indian temple with teal-green painted pillars carved with rearing animal figures and a painted ceiling under fluorescent tube lights. Many people stand close together in a dense crowd, mostly women and girls with hair tied back, some in red, orange and pink saris and salwar, a man in a white shirt in the foreground. Among them is a man in a light blue shirt and dark trousers apparently guiding the group, and an older man in white near the centre. At the far end a glowing golden shrine or deity murti is visible. No clearly identifiable candidate for the page subject is discernible from appearance, so the figures are described by role and dress only.
