A photograph inside a temple colonnade with a painted ceiling of teal, red, yellow and white medallion designs and dark stone pillars. A group walks left to right on a stone floor. In the centre, a man with long dark hair wears an orange-saffron robe over his shoulder and a red mark on his forehead, with a red-and-orange cloth around his shoulders, and appears to be a person figure given the swept hair and saffron robe. Beside him a bare-chested man in a yellow dhoti with purple sash and a white sacred thread walks, and a man in a white shirt and white dhoti in the foreground carries a yellow cloth. Other sannyasis in saffron robes and white-clad devotees follow behind, with a few people seated at the left edge.
