Outdoor photograph at a temple courtyard with a whitewashed multi-tiered temple gopuram and columned facade behind thatched palm-roof shelters. Several men walk across dusty ground. Two central figures wear saffron/orange robes with long dark hair; the one in the centre-right, in orange with a shawl over the shoulder, appears to be a sannyasi, and the appearance is consistent with a person, though the cues are not strongly distinctive. A man in a white shirt and white dhoti gestures beside them. A bare-chested priest in a white dhoti with a red sash walks at the right edge, while a man in white carries a brass tray of fruit and flowers. Men in white and cream shirts and a man in a yellow checked shirt surround the group.
