Photograph of a temple entrance with an ornate golden-brown wooden door studded with brass fittings, decorated with a garland of green, white and red flowers hung across its top. Several men stand in front of the doorway: two bare-chested priests in white and green dhotis, one with a sacred thread, one in a white dhoti with a green cloth draped over his shoulder, and a bald man in saffron robes at lower left. A woman in an orange sari stands at left beside a figure in white. A blue sign above reads a Tamil temple name, a small framed picture hangs on the right-side gate, and the walls are stained with red and yellow powder. Smoke or incense drifts near the doorway.
