A photograph of a temple corridor where several saffron-robed men walk in procession. Two central figures wear long garlands of white jasmine, green leaves and red flowers over orange robes with gold borders, gold necklaces and gold armlets; both have white-and-red sacred markings on their foreheads and red headbands. The figure on the left, with a shaved head and rudraksha mala and gold pendant, holds a companion's arm and appears to be an older man, while the one on the right holds a gold-toned necklace and walks with eyes lowered. Behind them, attendants in orange robes carry a small silver vessel and walk along the wall, and a man in white dhoti stands in the background beside a blue metal gate.
