Outdoor photo in a courtyard of a pink sandstone temple complex with white columned arcades and a balcony. A large group of mostly Indian men and women sits and stands on a stone-paved floor, many wearing garlands, white ritual clothes, a yellow headwrap, sweaters and jackets. At the right edge, a seated figure in saffron-orange robes wears a flower garland and a wrapped shawl, with the appearance of a sannyasi; the face is not clearly distinctive enough to confirm identity. A potted plant stands among the crowd, and a small purple logo appears in the upper left corner.
