A barefoot man in a maroon-brown dhoti-style garment walks forward along a dark red carpet in a temple courtyard at night. He wears a large garland of pink and yellow flowers, a gold waist band, rudraksha bracelets and a rudraksha mala with gold pendants, and a vermilion mark on his forehead. He smiles with one hand raised in greeting. Behind him, a shirtless man in white dhoti with gold borders and a rudraksha mala stands near the temple. Seated devotees in white dhotis line the orange carpet, and colourful deity figures and flower garlands decorate the background shrine.
