A crowded temple colonnade with white stone pillars and carved brackets, hung with marigold garlands and bunting in red, orange and white. A long procession aisle runs toward the center where dancers in bright red, pink and yellow costumes move in a line. Many devotees line both sides: men in white dhotis and shirts, women in sarees of green, orange and pink, and uniformed police officers in khaki. One man on the right wears an orange shawl with a saffron cloth. In the foreground a man in a blue shirt faces away from the camera. The scene suggests a festival or consecration celebration in progress, with no visible a person figure identifiable.
