A covered walkway lined with devotees who stand with hands pressed in anjali. A red carpet runs down the centre, and a bare-headed man in orange robes with a saffron shawl walks away from the camera. Behind him, a figure in an orange saree walks alongside. Devotees on both sides wear white dhotis and kurtas, and women wear sarees in yellow, orange, red and cream. Hanging decorations of palm-leaf style and red-and-white painted pillars line the ceiling. Framed panels with photographs and captions are mounted on the walls, and a mat strip runs along the right side. The figure in orange has an appearance that is not clearly distinctive enough to confirm identity.
