Devotees and young boys stand and sit on white steps in front of a whitewashed temple entrance marked Nithyanandeshwara Temple. Several women in orange and saffron blouses stand in the doorway, one in a white sari with a yellow border. A older man in a white shirt and white dhoti stands at left with arms folded, while a man in a white shirt and orange lanyard sits in the lower left corner. Boys in red, yellow, orange and white kurtas and shirts crowd the steps, with women in teal and white saris seated at right. A tall board beside the door reads Kalpataru Darshan, announcing sessions every Saturday and Sunday. Potted plants and a palm tree frame the scene. No a person candidate is clearly visible in the frame.
