Outdoors before a tall gopuram of a South Indian temple, a kneeling figure in saffron-orange robes with an orange head wrap bows deeply to the ground on a patterned rangoli-decorated area. Around them stand many men in white dhotis and white shirts, several wearing pendant necklaces, some with hands folded in namaskar and others standing with hands clasped. One man in an orange shawl with long dark hair and a bearded face stands near the center with hands folded. A man in olive-green shirt stands at right. A pink-walled structure and street lamp appear at left under a pale sky.
