Outdoor photograph at a temple site with coconut palms behind. A figure in orange robes with long dark hair and a white flower garland climbs a black metal staircase beside a tall ornate pillar wrapped in white and red garlands. Several men in white dhotis with yellow shoulder cloths stand behind him, and a monk with a shaved head in orange robes walks at right. A large yellow and red ceremonial umbrella stands at upper right, and a flower arrangement sits on white steps in the foreground. The orange-clad figure has distinctive long hair and orange robes, a person candidate, though appearance is only partially visible.
