Photograph taken inside a dimly lit stone temple corridor with carved sculptural panels on both walls. A crowd of people in white and light clothes moves toward a bright screen hung at the far end, which shows a close view of many round rice-like offerings or sweets. In the foreground a man in a white shirt and cap walks ahead, while others in white, and one woman in an orange sari on the right, follow through the passage. A golden palanquin or ratha-like object and a small altar area are visible beyond the screen.
