Outdoor group photo at a temple courtyard with palm trees, a shrine structure decorated with garlands and deity figures, and a yellow-and-blue truck on the right bearing a large banner of a saffron-robed figure. About thirty men in white dhotis and white shirts with rudraksha malas stand and sit in rows in front of the shrine; some wear orange and red cloths. A framed photo of a saffron-robed figure stands near the shrine. Swamiji (probable) cannot be confirmed from the visible people; the banner figure is a depiction with long hair and saffron robes.
