Usually I don't shoot with flash in the temple.
This is shot bounced flash to the ceiling. The ambient is always too yellow and red. There is no way I can shut out the ambient.
I gelled my SB-800 with a 1/2 CTO. Manually set the white balance to 2900 or there about.
I am sure the front and the back or the center of the hall has different WB as the left has sunlight streaming from the windows, while the back of the room has more tungsten light from the ceiling. Then the middle has some fluorescent tubes. The red lanterns add some orange to the mix as well. I think gelling the flash is a must if you use flash in this setting otherwise the WB is even more difficult to correct in post.
This is shot with my 16-35 f/4 with the Nikon D700. IS0640, f/5.6, 1/100, WB2900, flash CTO gel. Light room adjusted. I am quite happy with the skin tone overall.
