Outdoor temple grounds with thatched-roof shrine canopies over stone deity murti and a Shiva lingam on a red-and-white striped base. Two people in orange saffron robes walk along a sandy path; one carries a small object and the other walks beside him. A third person in white with a yellow shawl stands behind them. Signboards in Tamil and a potted plant with white flowers frame the scene, and wire cages surround small plants. Identity of the orange-robed figures cannot be established from appearance, so they are described by role only.
