A crowd of devotees gathers in an open courtyard in front of a whitewashed temple building with a thatched roof and a yellow-trimmed entrance. Women in saris, many in orange, red and yellow, stand with hands folded in namaskar, while men in white shirts and dhotis stand nearby. Some older women and young men in blue shirts are in the group. A brass lamp stand with a tall pillar is visible at the left edge. No identifiable a person candidate is clearly present, so the figures are described by role only.
