A silver Ford SUV drives along a dusty, unpaved forecourt toward a white-washed temple building with a red-and-white striped boundary wall. Above the entrance a sign reads Sri Anandeshwara Temple, and a small group of people in white clothes stand at the open doorway, one wearing an orange garment. To the right, large printed boards show a portrait of a woman with a red bindi and text describing the Kalpataru and a sacred banyan tree, with stacked clay pots nearby. A red flag is fixed to the front of the vehicle. Trees and a cloudy sky fill the background.
