The woman at left wears a cream and gold-bordered sari; others wear orange or cream saris with rudraksha malas around their necks, and one has tilak markings. A man in white dhoti and shirt stands at right, and a temple gopuram and parked vehicles appear in the background.

A photograph of a courtyard outside a whitewashed building with a red door and barred window. Many devotees in plain white kurtas, pyjamas and white dresses, plus women in saris and salwar kameez, stand in a loose line on dry grass carrying round metal plates with food offerings. A bald, bearded man in white kurta and white pants at centre gestures toward the plates, while a man in a white kurta with rudraksha mala on the left holds a plate. Many people are visible, mostly in mid-distance.
