Photo of saffron-robed sannyasis at a temple entrance with palm trees and a stone deity murti behind them. On the left, an older bald man in orange robes gestures toward a taller man in orange with long dark hair and a sleeveless orange wrap, who smiles as he walks forward. Behind them, a man in a white robe and a man in orange stand near a metal railing, while a crowd of people in white and yellow clothing waits at the gate. A man in a light blue shirt stands at the right edge. The taller man in the centre has long dark hair and a loose orange wrap, which may suggest a person, though the appearance is uncertain from this view. Coconut palms and a tall orange pillar frame the scene.
