Photograph of a group of men at a temple doorway with a large ornate golden-yellow wooden door decorated with a garland of green leaves and white and pink flowers. In front, a bald man in a saffron-orange dhoti and shawl stands with his back to the camera, flanked by others in saffron-orange robes. Men in white dhotis and white shirts stand around them, one holding a ritual item. A pile of pink flowers sits in a basket at right and a metal railing frames the scene. Bystanders in the foreground are partly visible. Appearance of the bald saffron-clad man is not distinctive enough to confirm identity; he is described by role as a sannyasi or priest.
