Evening outdoor puja at the Sri Anandeshwara Temple, a white building strung with lights. A raised platform in front holds several priests in orange-saffron robes, one standing tall and holding a lit lamp while others sit with offerings. A large crowd of devotees sits on the ground facing the platform, many women in white, yellow, pink and orange saris, with children and older adults. Smoke rises from the temple roof area and a few devotees wear white. Painted signs read Sri Anandeshwara Temple above the entrance and Kannada signboards flank the facade.
