Evening outdoor gathering in a stone-paved courtyard beside a tall brick-coloured temple wall, lit by low sun glare. Large crowds sit on the ground in rows: women and girls in maroon and rust-pink saris with yellow and gold trim, and men in white dhotis and shirts standing along the back wall. On the right, a seated man with long hair wears orange saffron robes, a garland of orange flowers and rudraksha beads, and holds a long staff, while a bald saffron-robed man with gold necklaces sits nearby. Uniformed police stand near the wall, and a bamboo-and-thatch structure stands at the far right. A phone screen is visible in the lower right corner.
