A photograph inside a temple corridor with ornate painted ceilings in green, blue and red, and carved stone pillars. A man in a red-brown garment with a white and red flower garland stands at centre with hands folded in namaste, surrounded by several young men in saffron-orange cloths with rudraksha malas and white dhotis, some with dreadlocked or tied-up hair. Police officers in khaki stand in the background and devotees pass along the aisle. The man's appearance does not clearly match the appearance cues needed for an identification, so he is described by role only as a devotee in a garland.
