A dim stone temple passage at night, lined with carved pillars and dark stone walls. Several people in white clothing, including women with white head coverings, walk toward a golden-railed central walkway. A large screen hangs above the passage showing a close-up of a crowd and lamps or bright round objects. Overhead a caged light glows. No individual can be confidently identified as a person from appearance, so no candidate is claimed.
