A crowded outdoor street scene at a gate of a temple compound. At centre, a long-haired man in an orange saffron robe with a bright orange turban and a white-and-yellow flower garland walks forward, with rudraksha beads visible around his neck. Two ornate multicoloured umbrellas with tasselled fringes, decorated with white doves and lotus motifs, shade the procession above. Around him, shaven-headed men in orange robes and white dhotis, and a uniformed police officer in a khaki cap, move through a tightly packed crowd of men in white shirts. A yellow signboard on the right lists trust office bearers, and a blue-and-white banner hangs above, with a news camera and microphones visible at the bottom edge.
