Photograph of a crowd of devotees lined along a white and red railing on a temple balcony with carved wooden arches behind them. Around a dozen people lean on the rail: women in red, teal, yellow and blue saris and salwar, a boy in a yellow shirt, and men in grey jackets, a pink shirt and a grey cap. Behind them a figure in orange-saffron robes stands inside the arched colonnade. Ornate brick and carved woodwork frame the scene.
