Night photograph of a temple courtyard where many devotees stand and kneel in rows on a paved floor, some with hands folded in namaskar. Many men wear white dhotis and white shirts with orange-red shawls draped over their shoulders, while others wear orange-saffron robes. Brass vessels and small pots are set on the ground, with plates of flowers, fruit and offerings nearby. On the left, a seated figure sits on a gold-decorated throne-like seat with ornate red cushions, flanked by attendants. Strings of coloured lights and a corrugated roof frame the scene, and a black stone lingam draped with a yellow cloth and garlands is visible on the right.
