A photograph of a man in saffron-orange robes wearing a long yellow and pink flower garland and a rudraksha mala, smiling as he speaks to a cluster of reporters holding microphones labelled with news channel logos. Behind him a bald man in saffron clothing with a mala also smiles. Several camera operators film with a Panasonic camcorder in the foreground. Behind them stands a temple gateway with painted red and yellow pillars, blue gates and two large painted dvarapala figures flanking the entrance. Several uniformed and civilian men crowd the scene.
