A dense crowd presses around a silver-grey car at a temple gate, with a figure in saffron-orange robes visible through the rear window. Flower petals in yellow and pink are scattered across the car roof and glass. Men in white shirts and dark trousers lean into the open doors, and several photographers with cameras and backpacks jostle at the front. Behind them, many men are shaven-headed or wear saffron and white clothing, and a yellow signboard with Tamil-style text hangs on the wall beside the gate.
