Outdoor temple courtyard with a tall copper-coloured flagstaff wrapped in cloth, rising from a white stepped base decorated with yellow and orange marigold garlands. In front sits a black stone Nandi bull garlanded with yellow and purple flowers, with a coloured floral rangoli design on the ground. Palm trees and grey stone deity sculptures stand in the background. Several people in white clothes and white saris walk around the site carrying brass vessels on their heads, while a drummer in a dark shirt and maroon dhoti plays cymbals in the foreground, and a man in a white shirt and yellow shawl walks nearby. The scene looks like a ritual procession around a sacred pillar.
