A photograph of a group of saffron-robed men walking along a stone-paved path beside a sandstone temple wall with carved pillars and a gopuram-style tower in the background. In the centre, a man with long swept-back hair, a white forehead mark, a rudraksha mala and a gold-toned necklace wears an orange-saffron wrap with gold-and-maroon borders and reads a printed booklet. To his right, a bald man in orange with a rudraksha mala holds a small white object, and another bald man on the right wears an orange robe and a face mask. Behind them a man in a white dhoti with gold border and a uniformed police officer in khaki follow. Several other people walk in the crowd, including a figure in a checked shirt carrying a shoulder bag at left. Swamiji (probable): the central man with long hair, rudraksha mala and gold necklace is labelled as a probable candidate by appearance cues.
