A group of people walks out through the doorway of a temple with red and white vertically striped walls. Above the entrance is a painted panel showing a chakra disc, a Vishnu-style urdhva pundra (U-shaped with vertical mark), and a conch shell over stacked gold-coloured pedestals. On the left, a bare-chested priest in a yellow dhoti with a purple border and an orange cloth over his shoulder walks forward. Next to him, a figure with long dark hair wears a saffron-orange robe and walks barefoot, with a second saffron-robed person beside a woman in a long orange sari. On the right, a man in white shirt and white dhoti holds a yellow bag, and another man in an orange cloth walks beside him. A man in white shirt and grey trousers stands in the middle background. Two people wearing saffron robes are visible in the group; the figure with long hair in the centre is an appearance-based candidate for a person, though the image is too small to confirm.
