Interior of a temple corridor with an orange and red painted wall, carved red lattice screens and a black-and-white checkered marble floor. Three men stand facing a framed painting of a deity on the left. The central man wears long-sleeved-free saffron-orange robes, sleeveless with long dark hair swept back, and stands with one hand tucked at his waist; a person candidate by appearance (long swept-back hair, saffron clothing) observing the painting. Beside him, a younger man in orange robes and a man in white dhoti stand near. A small offering of red flowers sits on the ledge below the painting.
