A photograph of a temple courtyard with a figure in an orange saffron garment leaning forward with long dark hair spilling down, one hand touching a stone shrine ledge decorated with carved lions. Two men in white dhotis and white shirts stand nearby, one holding an orange cloth. Another man in white stands behind holding a camera, and a few people in the background wear light clothing. Bamboo scaffolding with thatched roofing covers the area, a metal pot is on a stand, and a stone temple with pink walls and palm trees is behind. The figure's face is not visible, so the identity of the person in orange is uncertain.
