A photograph of a temple shrine entrance decorated with pink gerbera-type flowers on the pillars, white flower garlands above the doorway and a yellow marigold garland along the top. A Kannada inscription above reads Sri Mala Mahadevi Sannidhi. A man in a yellow garment with a red border and long hair stands at left. In the centre, a man in a white dhoti with folded hands and a bare upper body stands beside a man in a saffron-orange robe and head wrap, with a shirtless young man in a white dhoti next to him. Several other men in white dhotis and a man in a checked shirt stand near the doorway, and a man in a pink shirt holds up a camera. The person in saffron could be a person based on the orange robe and head cloth, but the appearance is not distinctive enough to confirm, so this is marked unsure.
