A group walks across a dusty open courtyard toward a large gopuram temple tower wrapped in bamboo scaffolding, with carved stucco figures and tiers visible. In the centre, a man with a shaved head wears an orange robe and white garland-like cloth, a second figure in saffron robes walks beside him, and several others in orange and white dhotis and shirts follow. A man in a pale green turban walks among them, and a cameraman stands at the left edge with a camera. Small shrines, a stone lamp-stand, low tiled buildings and a tree surround the courtyard under an overcast white sky.
