Photograph taken from inside an ornate wooden temple doorway looking out at a broad stone staircase ascending between white and red railings toward green trees and open sky. A green leafy garland arches over the entrance, and a painted pillar wrapped in a colourful patterned cloth with blue bird motifs stands at the left. Several people in saffron and orange robes, a woman in red with a garland, and a person in white climb the steps; a person in white holds a tray. A multicoloured striped umbrella is held over the steps. Decorative white and yellow rangoli designs and a red floral kolam mark the threshold floor, and a faint Om symbol appears on the yellow door frame.
