A photograph of an outdoor temple courtyard on a cloudy day, with a tall pale stone pillar rising among coconut palms. A white pedestal holds a dark seated stone statue draped with a red and white garland. Beside it, a man in an orange robe sits cross-legged on the ground, and a row of seated people in white and yellow robes faces the scene. Several white doves are on the concrete floor, one pecking near two clay bowls. Dark stone sculptures stand along the left side of the courtyard, and a white-robed person sits at the right edge.
