A group walks barefoot along a raised stone terrace beside a whitewashed temple wall painted with a figure. In the centre, a man with long swept-back dark hair, wearing an orange saffron robe with gold trim and a long dark rudraksha mala, smiles with his palms pressed together in greeting. Beside him, a man in an orange robe wears a gold-coloured ceremonial necklace, and a bald man in orange holds a small orange cloth. Men in white dhotis, some with gold chains and one holding a phone, follow along a white iron railing with an orange arch. Hazy plains and town buildings stretch behind them under a pale sky. Probable Swamiji, the centre figure with long swept-back hair, orange robe and rudraksha mala, is among the group.
