Night-time photo at an outdoor temple area. A figure in a saffron-orange robe and matching turban, with a long dark rudraksha mala around the neck, stands with palms pressed together in greeting, smiling, facing a man in a white short-sleeved shirt and brown trousers whose back is to the camera. Behind them a woman in a green sari with gold border smiles, and several men in white shirts and dhotis stand nearby. Behind the group is a gold-framed arch decorated with marigold garlands, framing a deity murti. Swamiji (probable) for the orange-robed figure with turban and rudraksha mala, who is greeting devotees.
