A photograph of an outdoor temple courtyard with paved grey tiles. A seated man in orange-saffron robes and a rudraksha mala sits cross-legged on a low orange platform in front of an orange shrine pedestal holding a dark Nandi-like bull with a yellow-and-red garland. A small brass lamp stands before him inside a circular stone ring. Behind him are grey stone deity statues, including a multi-armed figure and a standing figure holding a staff, beside a tall orange-tiered lamp post and palm trees. A white pigeon stands on the pavement at lower left. Rudraksha mala and saffron robe indicate a sannyasi priest; the appearance is not a distinctive enough match to confirm identity.
