Night photograph of a temple entrance decorated with strings of multicoloured fairy lights hanging from the archway and warm oil lamp-style lights draped along the walls. A sign above the doorway reads Shri Tryambakeshwar Devasthan Trust Karyalaya. A group of saffron-robed sadhus with rudraksha malas and shaved heads gathers at the top of the stone steps and inside the doorway. In the foreground a figure in white dhoti with a white cloth over the shoulder walks away from the camera. No individual can be confidently identified as a person from appearance, so no identity claim is made.

Several men wear rudraksha and beaded malas and ceremonial necklaces; one wears a red robe and turban-like headwear. Festive lighting and a bicycle are visible on the street.
