A photograph of devotees seated in rows on mats outside the Sri Anandeshwara Temple, a terracotta-orange building with a dark doorway and a sign reading SRI ANANDESHWARA TEMPLE. About twenty men sit on red-and-white striped steps and on woven mats on a tiled platform, many in white shirts and dhotis or trousers, some in light blue or beige shirts, one wearing a cap. A deity murti stands under a small orange canopy near the steps, garlanded with flowers. A banner reading Life Bliss Program hangs on the wall, with a portrait of a saffron-robed figure. Palm trees, marigold plants and a corrugated roof frame the scene under an overcast sky.
