A photograph in a long temple colonnade with ornate painted pillars in cream, yellow, green and red, with carved rearing lion brackets along the ceiling. Many men crowd the corridor walking toward a bright opening at the far end. Foreground figures wear white shirts and white dhotis; one man at center wears a dark brown top and a dark wrap, and a bare-chested man with a beard stands at the left edge. A stepped metal railing stands at left, and a carved figure appears on a pillar at right. Dense, blurred movement suggests a temple visit during a pilgrimage programme.
