A group of about a dozen devotees sit cross-legged on woven mats in an outdoor courtyard before a red-and-white painted wall and steps leading to a shrine entrance. A young man in a white t-shirt with a small colourful logo and black trousers sits centrally with hands on his knees, eyes closed in meditation. Surrounding men wear white shirts or dhotis with rudraksha-style neck malas, while some wear saffron cloth. At the top right, a sign reads Sri Anandeshwara Temple above a stone deity murti decorated with garlands. Several people in white sit on blue plastic chairs at the back left, and palms and potted plants frame the scene.
