A photograph inside a covered walkway lined with metal railings, where devotees stand on both sides with palms pressed together in greeting. Two monastics in saffron-orange robes walk down the central aisle; the nearer one wears an orange garment over the shoulder and carries something in the hands. Devotees include women in yellow, red and blue saffron-patterned saris and men in white dhotis and grey or blue shirts, many with hands folded in namaste. The corrugated roof has exposed steel trusses overhead. The scene suggests darshan along a queue, though the figures' identities are not established from appearance.
