A smiling person in a maroon-red sannyasi wrap with gold-and-maroon bands stands in the doorway of a vivid orange-red temple gateway, waving with the right hand. A large orange-and-marigold garland and a dark rudraksha-style mala hang on the chest, and a red tilak marks the forehead. Behind the doorway, dim interior shrine elements are visible, and painted figures of deities with weapons decorate the upper walls. Printed posters and notices cover the surrounding walls, and a corner poster shows a film-style photo.
