Night view of an outdoor temple compound at a person ashram, lit by strings of red and orange fairy lights on the orange-painted buildings. On the left, a tall open-sided shelter with a corrugated roof is hung with colourful striped cloth banners and bells. Beneath it, figures in white clothes sit near a decorated altar with deity murti and red cloth, and a few plant pots line the courtyard. A signboard on the right wall shows a long Kannada-script name, and a painted orange sign reads Temple. Several people are faintly visible at the altar, including one standing figure in pale clothing, and the ground is bare dirt.
