A crowded temple courtyard with a blue-walled entrance and orange-painted columns, under a corrugated roof. In the centre, a bare-chested, bearded sadhu with matted hair and a wrapped orange-brown cloth walks forward. Beside him, a man in saffron robes wears a marigold garland and holds a rudraksha mala, with a smaller saffron-clad attendant behind. A uniformed police officer in khaki walks ahead of the group.
