A dense crowd of devotees presses against a tall iron barricade inside a dim, long temple corridor lit by tube lights, with carved stone pillars and painted panels along the walls. A uniformed police officer in khaki stands at the left behind the grille, reaching toward the gate. Many men and women wear white dhotis, sarees and shirts, some with saffron or orange borders, while others wear striped shirts. Several hold up cameras or phones. The scene suggests a darshan queue at a temple, but no a person candidate is clearly visible in the image.
