A dense crowd of devotees fills a festooned temple corridor at night, many with raised hands, at what appears to be a lamp-lit ritual procession. Marigold and yellow garlands hang in swags from the ceiling, with strings of small electric lights and bright floodlights overhead. Oil lamps line the metal railing on the left. Men in white shirts and light trousers stand in the foreground, and a man in a striped shirt with a camera bag faces away from the lens. On the right, a large metal vessel and a brass lamp sit near the crowd. No individual can be confidently identified as a person from appearance, so no candidate is named.
