Night photograph at a temple courtyard lit with string lights, where a bearded man with long swept-back hair, wearing a rust-red dhoti and shawl, a white floral garland with red flowers, gold bangles and a white forehead mark, stands with palms pressed together and face lifted in devotion beside a stone platform. Behind him, a crowd of devotees watches, including a man in an orange robe with rudraksha beads, a person in an orange sari with a brass pot, and men in green shirts; several in the crowd photograph with cameras and phones. A brightly lit gopuram-style structure and scaffolding frame the background. Aside from the face-up devotee, the image shows temple worship at night.
