A smiling man in a red-maroon turban and maroon robe with gold-orange borders stands on a wet stone courtyard holding a silver trident, waving with his right hand. He wears a heavy gold necklace with a large ornate pendant and a gold armband. Behind him stands a grey stone temple with a shikhara and strings of marigold garlands and multicoloured streamers hanging from its entrance, under a large green tree. Around him, saffron-robed sadhus with staffs and uniformed police officers are present, and a bald priest in a maroon robe with a rudraksha mala stands at right, raising a hand. Rain-wet paving and overcast light complete the scene.
