A crowded interior of a temple corridor with dark stone pillars painted with colourful bands and overhead fluorescent lights. A dense mass of devotees presses against a metal grille on the left. Many men wear white dhotis and shawls with yellow or orange borders, and a few women wear red and yellow saris. A bare-chested man on the left and a man in white near the centre stand among the crowd, while others raise cameras and phones at the upper right. Hands reach toward the grille, and one man holds a folded paper. The image is a photograph, and the scene appears to be a darshan queue at a temple.
