A photograph of an outdoor temple courtyard lined with palm trees. In the foreground a young man in saffron-orange dhoti and shawl, wearing an orange-beaded mala, walks barefoot across dirt ground, carrying a small object. Behind him an older figure in orange robes holds a white sheet or paper. To the right, a line of devotees in white dhotis and cream saris with yellow shawls stand with hands folded in prayer beside a tall decorated wooden pole with red, blue and white patterns. On the left, a black stone Nandi bull with a marigold garland sits on a red-orange pedestal near a red stepped structure and a tall brass-and-orange lamp column. Red and orange flags fly nearby, and coloured powder marks the ground.
