Outdoor temple scene in front of a red-and-cream temple with a sign reading Sri ... Eshwara (partly cut off). A figure in orange robes and an orange head covering sits cross-legged on a low orange cushion, seen from behind, facing a raised concrete platform and the temple entrance. Around a circular stone-edged pit, a small ring of grey gravel surrounds the cushion. A large black stone bull (Nandi) on the right is draped in a white and orange cloth and garlanded with yellow marigolds and red roses. Two dark statues flank the temple steps, and a banner on the right shows a portrait with the printed headline Guru Purnima. Banana leaves frame the entrance and potted plants line the steps. The figure is a person in orange seated in meditation or prayer, with no clear visible basis for identifying a person.
