A photograph taken through a white temple doorway with a carved wooden door on the left. Three people walk across a dark tiled floor toward the camera: a figure in orange robes bending slightly at left, a central figure in a deep orange robe with a white flower garland, and a figure in white dhoti and shawl with a red border carrying items. A red and gold umbrella hangs overhead, and green leaf festoons decorate the doorway lintel. Yellow-painted door frames bear an om symbol and red and white dotted borders. Greenery is visible beyond the entrance.
