Evening photograph of a illuminated stone temple at night, its curved shikhara and mandapa outlined with strings of warm white and red lights, with a green-lit inner sanctum. In the foreground a group of about eight men in saffron-orange and maroon robes stand together on a paved courtyard, while a man in white dhoti with a red-and-gold sash and a bare upper body stands with his back to the camera. Several people in similar orange and ochre garments stand nearby, and a man in a khaki uniform stands near wooden benches. A white plastic chair sits at right, and a hand holding a camera appears at the edge of the frame.
