A dense crowd fills a temple corridor at night, with a bright light and video cameras on the left. At the centre, a man with long hair and a colourful multi-strand flower garland, his face marked with orange and red, is being pressed forward by devotees. A bare-chested man in white dhoti in the foreground holds a silver tray or offering. Men around wear white shirts, dhotis and orange or saffron cloths, and one man wears a dark turban. A golden gate and pillars frame the scene, with a sign reading EAST TOWER ENTRANCE above.
