Outdoor ceremony in front of a white-walled temple labelled Sri Anandeshwara Temple, with a banner reading Kalpataru Darshan. Several people in orange and saffron robes sit on a raised stage before a decorated seat and a garland-draped setup, while one standing figure in orange performs a ritual near a platter of offerings. A large crowd of seated devotees in white, yellow, red and pink saris and dhotis fills the courtyard on mats and plastic chairs, and a photographer with a camera on a tripod records the scene at the right. Brightly coloured garland-style decorations hang on the temple doorway.
