A photograph of a crowd gathered in front of a temple entrance with ornately painted pillars and a dark inner corridor. In the centre, a smiling man wears an orange robe, a red-and-white floral garland, a rudraksha-style necklace, a red headband and white tilak, and stands beside a dark car with a windshield. To his left, a bare-chested priest in orange holds a cord and a shaved-headed man in white stands near him. On the right, an older bare-chested man in orange with white beard and glasses raises a finger and holds a long wooden pole with a fringed canopy above.

Outdoor street scene at a roadside with trees, parked cars, motorbikes and a truck. A smiling man in an orange saffron turban and orange shawl, with a rudraksha mala around his neck and a red mark on his forehead, walks forward with his hands pressed to his chest.

Uniformed police officers in khaki and a traffic officer in white and a cap stand nearby, and a man in a blue shirt presses his palms together in greeting.
