A barefoot man in saffron-orange robes and a matching saffron turban stands in a carved stone temple doorway, wearing a long ceremonial gold necklace of beads. He is shown in profile, looking to the side, one hand resting at his waist. Ornately sculpted stone pillars with figures and floral motifs frame him, and a green tree and blue sky show through the open archway. A white-clad older man in a white shirt and white dhoti stands behind him to the left, and a child is partly visible near the orange-robed figure. The scene conveys a temple visit in Tiruvannamalai.
