A photograph of a group walking barefoot up a brick-paved stone stair in an open courtyard of a temple complex, with stone pillars and a gopuram wall behind them. In the centre, a man in an orange-saffron dhoti and a rudraksha mala, with a teal surgical cap and white paste markings on his arms and forehead, walks ahead of others. Behind him, several men in saffron and orange robes follow, some wearing teal or blue face masks. A man on the right in a saffron cloth and rudraksha mala holds a white paper. Men in white shirts and dhotis, one with dark trousers, carry papers and walk alongside, and uniformed police officers in khaki and blue stand in the background near the temple wall. A woman in a cream sari with orange border walks at the far left.
