Outdoor temple scene in daylight beside a red-and-gold decorated gate and red curtain. A man with long swept-back hair, a vermilion-marked forehead, a sky-blue wrap and a heavy gold ceremonial necklace with gold beads walks forward with hands gesturing, appearing to speak or chant. Behind him a second man in a white dhoti with a gold border and a gold necklace carries a silver tray with a lamp and offerings. A stone sculpture of a sacred bull sits on the roof above the gate. Appearance-based label: a person in the foreground, wearing distinctive long hair, blue wrap and gold necklace; the attendant in white is a priest carrying the tray.
