A large outdoor crowd fills a temple courtyard in daylight, with hundreds of devotees in white, orange, yellow and multicoloured saris and dhotis pressing forward. At center stands a tall, tiered gopuram-style structure, a temple tower covered in painted deity figures, supported by scaffolding on its side. Stone temple walls and a gateway line the left, while a long water-filled tank and trees lie beyond the right barrier. A brightly painted figure sits at the lower right edge. The scene resembles a temple festival or consecration crowd at Arunachaleshwara temple.
