A photograph of a narrow covered walkway beside a pale stone wall, with a row of orange and white striped pillars along the right side under a sloping roof with an orange-painted fascia. Four people walk away along the concrete path in the centre: two wear orange saffron robes, one wears a white garment, and one wears a brown shawl over clothing. A rounded hill rises in the hazy background above low temple buildings, and a faint kolam is drawn on the ground in the lower right.
