Early morning outdoor scene at a temple courtyard with tall coconut palms and a tall copper-coloured flagstaff. A white-plastered stepped plinth holds a dark stone murti draped with yellow-orange garlands, in front of which several seated men in white clothes and yellow shawls sit on the paved ground. A man in an orange top sits near the centre, and pigeons, grey and white, walk across the pavement, while a dark pigeon perches on a red-topped ledge at left. Smoke or haze drifts through the palms in the soft backlight. Visible people number about six, all seated.
