A photograph inside a South Indian temple corridor lit by strings of blue lights. Two tall painted dvarapala guardian statues in green and gold clothing stand on either side of a doorway leading to a sanctum filled with a deity murti decorated with red and yellow garlands and flowers. Devotees line a metal railing on the left and right, including a man with a white shirt and a girl in a pink and grey outfit in the foreground, while others stand behind the rail. A small brass offering tray with flowers sits at the lower edge.
