A crowded temple entrance procession with several people in saffron and orange robes. A shaved-headed man in an orange robe with rudraksha beads and a pendant stands center, a bald devotee in an orange cloth to the left smiles and gestures, and a bald priest in white dhoti and shawl with a rudraksha mala holds a garland of yellow and red flowers at right. Uniformed police officers and men in white shirts stand behind, a large golden kalasha-like finial and garlands hang to the right, and banners of a deity figure line the gateway. The a person candidate cannot be confirmed from appearance alone, so the central robed figure is treated as uncertain.
