Most devotees wear white garments with orange-saffron shawls draped over their shoulders, and many are seen from behind. Some women wear saris in red, pink and yellow. Stone temple walls and gopuram towers rise at the left and back, with a lit oil lamp glowing near the upper wall, and a small stone pavilion with decorative finials stands at the right. A single figure in white stands at the far front of the open space, and scaffolding appears near the central structure.
