Outdoor temple scene under a bright sky with tall coconut palms. On the left, a black Nandi bull statue on a white plinth wears a garland of yellow-orange flowers. In the centre, two men in saffron-orange robes stand on a white platform, reaching up to a tall copper-coloured dhwaja flagstaff with a yellow garland at its base, apparently raising or securing the flag. To the right, a woman in an orange sari stands beside a small wooden table holding offerings, and a man in white dhoti with an orange shawl stands nearby. A small oil lamp or offering lies on the ground at right. Low wall and trees are behind.
