Photograph inside a dim temple hall with carved stone pillars and a sculpted figure on the right wall. A central figure in a saffron-orange robe and matching orange turban wears a long garland of white flowers and green leaves, and a gold pendant is visible at the chest; he walks forward with his head turned to the side. Around him, men and boys in white dhotis and white shirts, several wearing rudraksha malas and orange shawls, walk alongside. A bare-chested man in a brown-and-white dhoti walks at right, and a woman in a light sari stands at the edge. A blue cloth bag hangs from a man at left.

Two men in white dhoti-style ritual clothes walk in the group, one holding a cloth or item. A woman in a green-and-white sari walks at right, and a shrine with lamps and colourful ornaments is visible at the upper right. The stone floor has a decorative inlaid pattern.

A man in an orange saffron robe with long dark hair stands at center, his arm extended to touch a carved panel on a pillar. To the left, a man in a white shirt and white trousers stands with his back partly turned, and behind him an older man in white clothing with an orange shawl stands at a distance. Ornate sculpted columns and open arches frame the scene. The orange-robed man is a person by appearance, with long swept-back hair and saffron clothing; he is inspecting temple carvings.

A man in a long-haired, orange-saffron dhoti and shawl walks barefoot at the right, with a white tilak on his forehead and long dark hair swept back, the most prominent figure in the frame; the appearance cues are a long swept-back hairstyle and saffron clothing, which is consistent with a candidate for the a person label, but not enough to confirm identity. Beside him, another man in saffron walks ahead at left, and a third man in white dhoti with an orange shawl and rudraksha mala walks in the middle. Behind them, devotees in white shirts, a woman in a green sari and an older man stand in a procession line.2009-01-29A temple corridor with rows of tall stone pillars and fluorescent lights, where a crowd walks through the middle.

Around them, men in white shirts and dhotis, some wearing yellow and red ribbon badges, move through the crowd.
