Inside a stone temple hall, a long-haired figure in orange robes with a white forehead mark and a yellow flower garland sits on the floor facing a man in orange robes holding a handheld microphone. A smiling man in a white shirt and white dhoti sits nearby, with two other seated men, one bare-chested, in the background. Uniformed police officers stand at the left, and a decorated shrine with an illuminated archway is visible behind the group.
