Photograph taken under a white tarpaulin canopy at a temple site. In the foreground a large golden-brown metal deity murti with a tall ornate crown and a raised hand dominates the frame, its surface worn and partly flaking. Behind it, a man in orange robes with glasses stands adjusting something near his head, flanked by a man in a white shirt and white dhoti and a bearded man in white with an orange shawl. Several other onlookers and children stand around, and a green gas cylinder is visible at right. The setting looks like an open work area beside the statue.
