Evening view of a stone Hindu temple at Triyambakeshwar, its curved shikhara and tiered roofs outlined with strings of warm white and orange fairy lights, with green light washing the central sanctum. In the foreground a group of about a dozen devotees and sannyasis stands on a stone plaza facing the temple. Several wear rust-red and maroon robes with gold borders, and one in the centre-left is bald with bare shoulders and wrapped in maroon cloth. A man on the right wears an orange dhoti and orange shawl with a bead necklace. Uniformed police officers stand near the left edge, and a woman in a dark sari with a red shawl stands among the group. A small lit side shrine with lights is at right.
