A photograph of an outdoor temple-area walkway with unfinished brick walls and a banana plant behind. A young man in a blue-and-green checked shirt and navy trousers carries a brass tray of flowers, leaves and a kalasha-like vessel. Beside him, a man with long dark hair and a shawl in gold and saffron-orange, with a gold necklace and a red bindi, walks with his hand near his chin. Behind him are older men in white dhotis and a man in a grey shirt holding a phone. The scene suggests a temple procession or visit. A man in a pink striped shirt stands at the right edge.
