A photograph of Sri Anandeshwara Temple, with a long-haired figure seen from behind in an orange sleeveless top standing before a shrine on a sandy courtyard. The shrine holds a deity murti in a garland of yellow, orange and purple flowers, mounted on a grey bull mount (nandi) with an orange cloth draped over it, with a dark Shiva-type sculpture beside it. Two women in white stand at the side, and a few more people are partly visible at the right edge. The wall has a painted sign reading Sri Anandeshwara Temple, and a bamboo ladder leans against the orange wall. Swamiji (probable) is the long-haired figure in orange, identified by long swept-back hair and saffron clothing.
