Photograph taken from behind inside a dim warehouse-like corridor lined with stacked golden wooden furniture, carved gilded thrones, and dark wooden panels against a red brick wall. Under yellow steel beams and fluorescent lights, several people walk in single file down the aisle. The foreground figure wears a light blue shirt. Behind him, a figure with long braided hair wears an orange-saffron wrap with a rudraksha-style mala and bare shoulders, and a person in a white shirt walks ahead. The orange-clad figure's identity is uncertain from appearance alone, so the role is described only as a walking devotee. The scene shows storage of ceremonial gilded seats and thrones.
