Dusk at a stone temple with a tall black shikhara spire strung with lines of warm lights and a red-and-white flag on top. In the foreground on the paved courtyard, a bare-chested priest in cream dhoti holds a tray toward a man in a deep maroon robe with a gold-yellow border and gold pendant, who has a red cloth draped over his head. Beside them stand three people in orange-saffron robes: an older woman with a rudraksha mala, a man with a saffron wrap and beaded mala, and another man in an orange shawl over white trousers. Lit temple structures and trees appear behind them.
