Outdoors under a large spreading tree, a man in a long-haired, swept-back style wearing a red-maroon turban, a reddish-brown shawl draped over his bare upper body, gold armlets and a pink-and-white flower garland stands with palms pressed together before a shrine. The shrine holds a gold-coloured deity murti of Sri Dakshinamurti, adorned with a white and gold necklace and framed by a large arch of marigold and rose garlands in yellow, pink, purple and green. Behind him, a man in orange robes holds a camera and a notebook, a man in white dhoti and shawl films with a video camera, and another man in white dhoti photographs. A stone plaque in front of the shrine describes Sri Dakshinamurti. Flower offerings lie on the stone pavement.
