Night photograph of a seated group of devotees in white and saffron-orange clothing outdoors before a small shrine labelled Shiva Temple beneath a tree. A woman in an orange sari stands near the shrine lit by warm lamps, while about a dozen people sit on a stone bench and pavement facing her, several wearing orange stoles. Striped red-and-white cloth canopies and an Om symbol appear above the shrine. Two young girls with long braids sit in the foreground. A figure in white and orange on the right appears to be a sannyasi or devotee seated apart from the group; no one can be confidently identified as a person from appearance.
