Outdoor photograph at the Sri Anandeshwar Temple grounds in Bengaluru, with a pale stucco building, palm trees and a flagpole row behind. Thick white smoke billows from a firecracker a woman in a white sari with orange border holds on a long stick. Several women in white saris with orange and yellow shawls stand or walk across a dusty ground covered in spent cracker paper. Two women in white with saffron shawls stand near the center; a figure in white dhoti and orange shawl walks in the middle. A signboard reads Sri Anandeshwar Temple with a portrait of a woman, and a small lamp flame burns on the ground in the foreground.
