A large open-sided pavilion with a corrugated metal roof and red steel frame holds a crowd of people seated on the sandy ground in white clothes, many on purple mats. Along the roofline hang strings of orange pennants and tall colourful cylindrical decorations. A sign on the orange-walled building reads Nandeshwara Temple. In the far background, under the palm trees, a stage-like orange-draped structure with a figure reclining in orange cloth stands beside a cart. Several people are gathered near the temple entrance at the centre. Light and white glare dominate the image.
