Outdoor photo beside a temple garden lined with palm trees. A shaved-headed man in an orange-red saffron wrap, with a dark rudraksha mala and a white forehead marking, leans on a tall wooden staff with one hand on his hip. Behind him stands a white stone pedestal with a carved Nandi bull garlanded in yellow flowers, and a copper-coloured pillar. A younger man in orange clothing stands at the right edge with hands folded. Stone deity murtis line the garden path, with blue signboards reading Vedic Temple below.
