Exterior of a dark stone Hindu temple with a tall curvilinear shikhara spire and a kalasha with trident finial on top, under a hazy morning sky. Strings of colourful flags and cloth banners hang across the facade. A wet stone courtyard in front holds a group of people: several in plain white dhotis and saris, and others in saffron and orange robes, some carrying orange flags. Their clothing and the damp ground suggest a temple visit or procession near the shrine. No identifiable a person figure is visible.
