A photograph of a temple corridor with granite pillars and a white wall with red and white striped border, with a colourful gopuram tower behind. Several men walk together across a stone-paved courtyard. In front, a man with long dark hair wears a flowing saffron-orange robe and walks barefoot; a bearded man on the left wears an orange wrap, and a man in the centre wears an orange robe. Behind them, men in white dhotis and a man in a light blue shirt walk along. At the far right, a bare-chested, bald man wears a yellow and orange dhoti with a purple sash and white sacred thread. The front figure's distinctive long, swept-back hair and saffron robe are notable, but identity is not established from appearance alone.
