Four men in saffron and orange robes walk along a white marble corridor beside a wall of inscribed white panels with rows of Devanagari text. The foreground man in front wears a saffron shawl over orange robes, a bead mala and a white flower garland with red blossoms, and has a red tilak on his forehead. A bare-chested man in a red-brown dhoti and a red-beaded necklace, also garlanded, walks beside him. Two more men in orange robes follow behind, one holding a trident-shaped object near the dark doorway ahead. Carved pillars and marble railings frame the passage.
