Behind a striped red-and-white low wall, a large audience of many people in white and light clothing sits on steps and the courtyard floor. A black speaker stands on the right. Above, a temple facade reads 'Sri Ananadeshwara Temple' with marigold garlands, banana leaves, and deity murtis on pedestals. A red display board on the right shows a photo of a turbaned man and the word 'Anandotsava'.
