A photograph of a large crowd gathered outside a white tented structure labelled Sri Nandeshwara Temple, with a maroon banner across its facade. Banana plants and tall orange flags frame the entrance, where two colourful striped umbrellas stand. Two painted panels of a standing goddess holding a lamp flank the entrance, and round coloured emblems hang above. Many people in white and saffron clothing, several in orange shawls, press forward; some men wear white dhotis and a few hold items near the doorway. Some stand on tiptoe while others raise their hands. A bright blue sky shows above the tent.
