A dim temple corridor at night where a procession of men walks toward the camera. In the centre, a smiling man wears a saffron-orange dhoti and shawl, a red-beaded rudraksha necklace, a crown-like headpiece and a sandalwood-toned bead garland, carrying nothing in hand. Beside him, a bare-chested man in orange garments with a white headband and mala beads walks barefoot. Other devotees in orange robes and men in white dhotis follow, one holding a bundle of yellow cloth and another a round blue-and-white decorated object. Several figures appear partly in shadow, and a uniformed arm is visible at the right edge. The procession suggests a temple ritual walk.
