A photograph inside a temple courtyard shows a bearded man with folded hands at the centre, wearing a brown robe and a large multicoloured flower garland of yellow, white and red blooms. He walks among orange-robed sannyasis wearing rudraksha malas, one with a topknot and one with glasses, and white-clad devotees in dhotis and shirts. Two men at left wear plain shirts and a man with a pink shirt and white dhoti stands nearby. Behind them stand a tiered gopuram-style temple tower, a brass kalasha-like vessel on the floor, and painted deity statues on the pillars. Bright daylight and palm trees fill the background.
