A photograph of several men gathered before a large ornate golden-yellow wooden temple door studded with many small brass bells and garlanded with white and green flower strings. Foreground figures wear white dhotis and shirts, and a few wear white shawls with gold borders. Two shaved-headed priests in saffron-orange robes stand with hands joined in prayer, one holding a lit oil lamp on a metal tray at the lower edge of the frame. Another man in orange cloth stands at right with a bare upper body and hands folded. A few onlookers' heads are partly visible at the edges. The setting appears to be a temple entrance with pink-washed walls.
