Outdoor photo at an open sandy courtyard beneath tall coconut palms. A tall copper-coloured column stands behind a white plinth holding a large sculpted stone deity murti, with a dark circular stone base in front. Several people in white dhotis and white kurtas, some with shawls, stand in a loose line facing the murti, while a figure in white bends at the plinth. On the left, a group of girls and young women in white salwar or saris, some with orange sashes, stand in a row. Some people wear red and green saris. The scene looks like a temple worship gathering at a shrine. No identifiable a person is visible.
