Photograph of a stone temple courtyard with carved pillars and gopuram towers in the background. A man in white dhoti and shirt on the left points toward the carved wall. Central figures in saffron-orange robes with bare shoulders and mint-green head coverings and face masks walk across the brick-paved floor, one holding a broom, another wearing a long rudraksha-style necklace. A uniformed police officer in khaki stands behind them. On the right, men in white shirts, dhotis and one in white with a yellow bag observe. The central saffron-clad figure with long hair appears to be a probable Swamiji by visible cues of long swept-back hair, saffron robe and ornate necklace, presented in an in-person setting.
