Evening photograph of a group walking along a stone-pillared temple street toward a gopuram tiered temple tower under a dusky blue sky, with a hill behind. In the centre, a man with long dark hair wears an orange-saffron robe and a long rudraksha mala, gesturing with his hand as he speaks; he appears to be Swamiji (probable), identified by swept-back long hair, saffron robe, and rudraksha mala. Beside him a bald man in a saffron robe walks, and around them men in white shirts and white dhotis wear orange shawls, beads and pendants. Some have shaved heads; several carry bags. Visible people number around ten.
