A group of about fifteen devotees stands in prayer with palms pressed together (anjali mudra) on the open terrace of a white temple. Most wear white or light kurtas and shirts; a man in a dark jacket stands at the left, and a woman in a pink patterned salwar kameez with a dupatta and a woman in a white dress carrying a red handbag stand near the centre. Behind them is a white temple pavilion with carved white pillars and a sculpted female figure, painted cylindrical columns in red, blue and yellow, and palm trees beyond. Small offerings of petals lie on a white ledge at the lower left. No single person is clearly identifiable as the a person in this image.

Nearby, women in saffron and white saris, a man in white dhoti and shirt, and a man in a red shirt and khaki trousers stand among children, including a boy in a white t-shirt with a flag print and another in a dark blue top. Some people wear white clothes and rudraksha malas. The group appears to be walking down temple steps.
