Outdoor temple scene in bright daylight before a white gopuram covered with carved sculptures and bamboo scaffolding. A central figure in an orange-saffron turban, orange robe and long rudraksha mala speaks and gestures with an open hand; the appearance cues are a long swept-back hair, saffron clothing and rudraksha, so this is a probable Swamiji (probable) in person. To his left a bare-chested priest in a white dhoti with a green-and-red border gestures toward him, and to the right a man in a blue shawl and red dhoti with garlands of pink and red flowers stands with hands folded. Other white-clad priests and devotees stand behind, and a basket of coconut and offerings sits at the lower left.
