A blurred photograph of a narrow temple doorway with old green-painted wooden doors and a faint light inside. In the foreground a man in a teal-green silk shawl with a white flower garland, rudraksha beads, a gold pendant and a red-orange dhoti stands with hands folded, a red tilak on his forehead. Behind him stand two men in orange-red robes with garlands, one with a white band on his head. A camera operator's equipment is visible at the left edge. The person in front has a shawl and distinctive ornate adornments, but the appearance is not clear enough to confirm identity, so the role is given as a devotee in procession.
