A group of people descends the stone steps of a carved grey temple entrance, with string lights and a carved deity panel visible on the pillars. In the centre, an older man with grey hair wears a saffron-orange dhoti and shawl, with rudraksha beads around his neck and bare feet. Around him, several men in rust-red and maroon dhotis with gold borders wear rudraksha malas and marigold garlands; one wears a red turban and another has a gold pendant. A man in a white dhoti with gold border and a red sling bag walks at the front, and a man in grey shirt and trousers with a lanyard stands at the right. The swami in saffron is identified only by appearance and role, and no printed name is visible.

In the centre, an elderly man with a white-streaked tonsured head, bare-chested except for an orange-saffron wrap, wears a rudraksha mala and white forehead markings, walking between two attendants. A figure in an orange wrap with white tilak and a red-black mala supports his arm. Flanking them, two men in deep red-maroon dhotis with gold borders, gold-and-white flower garlands and rudraksha necklaces walk with white forehead marks, one on the left wearing a red turban and gold pendant.
