A photograph of a temple veranda decorated for an evening event. Strings of yellow marigold garlands and small lights hang along a wooden beamed ceiling with terracotta tiles. Brass bells hang from the left, and a ceiling fan is mounted above. A red-walled building with a tiled roof sits beyond the veranda, with a wooden pillar wrapped in marigolds in the foreground and a brass-topped umbrella or canopy at right. A few people in orange and red clothing are visible at the bottom edge, partly cut off. No a person candidate is clearly visible.
