A photograph at the entrance of the Sri Anandeshwara Temple, a white building with a painted sign reading SRI ANANDESHWARA TEMPLE above its doorway, which is hung with garlands and a string of colourful pennants. A group of about eight saffron-robed sannyasis and devotees stands on the steps. In front, a man in orange with a white flower garland holds a golden trident-topped staff, and beside him a figure in orange holds a round decorated tray. Nearby, a man in white dhoti and shirt and a woman in white stand in the group. Below, on a white-draped table, stand two brass pots with leaves and garlands, and a deity murti decorated with garlands. Two dark stone guardian statues in orange cloth and garlands flank the doorway. A small child stands near the drum on the right. The mood is a temple ceremony and procession.
