Outdoor photo of a crowd of devotees seated on mats and the bare ground in front of a white-walled temple labelled Sri Anandeshwara Temple. Several saffron-robed monks sit on a raised red-and-white striped platform at the temple steps, with a figure in a saffron robe seated centrally at the front and others in orange and white nearby, apparently performing a ritual. Devotees in white kurtas, saris and salwar are seated facing the platform, with palm trees and a dusk sky behind. Bright strings of lights and banners hang on the facade.
