Outdoor temple courtyard with a paved stone floor and a sheltered walkway along a carved stone temple wall. A small cream-coloured shrine with arched niches holds deity murtis, including a seated figure and standing figures on the upper panels, and a pair of stone lions sits on its roof corners. A man in white dhoti and shirt walks across the courtyard, a few people sit on the shrine steps, and a woman in a purple sari walks at right. Palm trees and a red-and-white striped compound wall frame the scene.
