A photograph of a small temple complex under a covered open-fronted porch with white and green painted pillars and a red-trimmed roof. Behind the porch, a shrine doorway with dark metal gates and a small white and red spire sits among palm trees. Two people stand on the paved courtyard: an elderly woman in a pink sari and a man in a yellow shirt. A white minibus, a bicycle and a green-walled enclosure are visible, and a small green-roofed stone structure with a lit shrine niche stands at the right edge. No readable name or event is visible.
