A barefoot man in a flowing saffron-orange dhoti-style wrap and a black rudraksha mala walks across a green mat at a temple entrance. Long dark hair is swept back, and he looks down as he steps. Behind him, a red-and-white striped structure and an orange-draped cart stand near a palm-lined courtyard, while a group of men in white dhotis and shirts stands on the left, some with hands joined. Inside the doorway, a dark stone deity murti stands on a pedestal beside potted plants. The cart may be a palanquin or ratha. A white circular logo appears in the lower left corner.
