Outdoor photo of a temple grounds with a white platform edged in red and white stripes and a sandy courtyard holding several circular ringed fire pits. A young man in a saffron-orange robe with a long rudraksha mala walks at the centre, barefoot and with a red mark on his forehead, appearing to be a sannyasi. Behind him, devotees in white dhotis and yellow shawls walk in line, one carrying a saffron cloth bundle over his shoulder, and another white-clad person bends low near a pit at the back. Another man in white stands at the far right, and a few figures in white and yellow are visible in the background.
