A photograph of a temple courtyard at sunset with the sun glowing between palm trees. In the centre stands a tall copper-coloured flagstaff or dhvaja kambam on an orange-red stepped plinth. In front sits a black stone Nandi bull with a gold-yellow cloth draped over its back and a garland at its neck. To the left, grey stone figures of attendant devotees stand with hands folded in anjali. Lush green trees, palms and a blue tarp fill the background, and a small staircase rail appears at the right edge.
