Crowded interior of a temple with a yellow and blue decorated doorway and garlands. A bald man in white dhoti bends low before a figure in saffron-orange robes with a long flower garland of yellow and red blossoms draped over the shoulders, as a man in a white shirt places a garland on the head of a seated child. Devotees in white shirts and red-trimmed clothing press against steel railings, a woman in a green-and-gold top holds up a phone, and a brass plate holds a lit oil lamp with flowers, reflecting a darshan moment at a Hanuman temple visit.
