Dim night photograph of the carved wooden doorway of a temple gateway, with ornate panels and carved scrollwork on the frame and dark wooden double doors studded with round brass bosses and square panels. Two uniformed security officers in khaki with light-coloured caps stand at the right of the doors, and a partly visible figure in dark clothing is at the lower left edge. No a person candidate is clearly visible; the page refers to a temple visit, but the doorway shows no identifiable person in the scene.
