A dense crowd of devotees stands behind a metal barrier at the entrance of a stone temple with carved pillars and a blue sign above a gate. Many people wear orange-saffron scarves or sashes, one reading Om hreem, and several have sandalwood or kumkum marks on their foreheads. A woman in the front left wears a white top with an orange scarf and rudraksha-style beads, another woman in the foreground has a red bindi and a teal blouse, and a woman in the centre has hands joined in anjali. Two young boys in front wear glasses and a striped sweater, and a bald man in a white shirt with an orange sash stands at right. The setting appears to be an outdoor temple courtyard with trees behind.
