A photograph of an outdoor temple courtyard at the Sri Anandeshwar Mandir. A single barefoot person dressed in white ritual clothing stands with hands folded at the left edge, facing a raised platform. On the platform are two deity murtis wearing garlands: one tall dark figure and a pair of golden deity statues in purple and blue draped garments, one with an orange crown-like headdress and a trident. Behind them is an orange wall with a small red-and-white painted border, a potted plant area and a yellow-walled entrance with a sign. A blue sign on the left lists photography and video restrictions. A small square fire or offering pit sits in front of the platform.
