A hilltop temple scene under bright sky with a distant plain below. Central figure in an orange-saffron dhoti and shawl with long swept-back dark hair, wearing a dark rudraksha mala and a gold-toned chain, hands joined in anjali, walking along a stone path beside a white and blue shrine with an Om symbol painted on its arch and an iron-grille doorway. Behind him a man in an orange robe carries a red and gold umbrella, and other men in white dhotis and orange shawls follow. A shaved-headed man in white with a garland stands at right. Probable Swamiji cues: long swept-back hair, saffron clothing, and rudraksha mala, shown in procession as a devotee-led temple visit.
