Night photograph at a temple precinct with large painted guardian statues behind a pale yellow wall. In front, two people in red-orange robes face the statues: a young man on the left in a red wrap holds a golden kalasha-like vessel and wears a rudraksha mala, and a long-haired, bearded man on the right in a dark red robe with a saffron shawl stands with hands together. Several painted statues wear gold crowns and ornaments, and one figure holds a staff.
