A photograph of a street outside a temple gateway with ornate carved stone walls and a blue-painted upper tower. A man in a saffron-orange robe and a gold-coloured ceremonial necklace walks barefoot down the middle of the road toward the viewer. Behind him, several people in white dhotis and shirts and a woman in a cream sari with a red-bordered pallu follow. On the left, a woman in a dark red sari with a gold border stands near a striped awning, and a red sign with a vertical stripe of text stands at the right edge. Parked white cars line the road in the background. The man in orange has distinctive long hair and a rudraksha-style necklace, but his face is not identifiable from appearance alone, so this is a person candidate only by compatible presentation.
