A dense crowd moves through a long, colourful temple corridor lined with stone pillars and painted panels. At centre, a man in white dhoti and dark jacket presses his palms together in anjali, wearing a long multicolour garland and a white shawl. Around him, bare-chested sadhus with saffron and orange cloths, rudraksha malas and matted topknots walk closely, one holding a purple-and-gold cloth. Devotees in white and dark clothing stand along the edges, and a camera operator is visible at the lower left. The setting suggests a temple procession or darshan.
