Outdoor photograph of a temple courtyard with palm trees behind. In the centre, a man in an orange saffron robe sits cross-legged before a black stone Dakshinamurthy-style deity murti on a white tiered plinth, the murti draped with a red, yellow and white marigold garland. Two men in white ritual clothes sit behind him, one wearing a yellow shawl. A white pigeon stands in the foreground on the pale stone floor, and a white pillar and a tall spired shrine rise behind. The man in saffron has long dark hair and a sannyasi appearance; this is an appearance-based candidate only, so the identity remains uncertain.
