Photograph inside a long stone colonnade of a temple, with rows of carved pillars topped by ornate brackets and lion-like corbels receding into the distance. A group of people walks down the central aisle toward a bright opening at the far end, with several figures in saffron-orange robes and others in white dhotis and shirts. In the foreground at right, a man in a white dhoti and white kurta wears an orange sash over his shoulder and carries a camera on a small rig, facing away from the viewer. The dim, dusty floor and shadowed walls frame the procession-like walk through the hall.
