Outdoor photograph of a courtyard lined with rows of grey stone statues of seated deities and sculpted figures. A lone man in saffron-orange robes and a matching orange dhoti walks across the reddish-brown ground with his hands together in front of him, his hair tied up at the back. Behind the statues stand white pillars, a low orange-roofed building, a water tank and green hills with trees under a pale sky. A small white dais with a yellow-clad figure and offerings sits in the background, and a red-and-white kerb edges the platform.
