Evening photograph of an outdoor temple courtyard lit by hanging string lights and a glowing shrine arch in the background. A figure in an orange-saffron turban and saffron shawl sits at a table draped in a red-and-gold cloth, writing in an open notebook. Standing before the table, a man with long hair and a saffron shawl over white clothes is being greeted, while a man in white dhoti bends forward near him. Around them a crowd of men in white shirts, dhotis and checked shirts stands closely, some with hands folded, and a cameraman with a video camera films the scene. Blue plastic chairs and a wooden pole appear in the foreground.
