A photograph of a thatched-roof temple pavilion with white pillars and a blue-painted shrine entrance framed by a yellow sign reading Sri Sayambu Sannidhi. Above the doorway, a board shows two carved footprints. A group of about twenty men walk in procession across the stone floor: a bare-chested young man in a yellow dhoti at left, many in white dhotis and shirts, and a central figure in a long saffron-orange robe with long hair, followed by people in peach and orange cloth. A round stone basin and a small altar with a kalasha-like pot sit on the floor. Palm trees and red railings frame the scene.
