A photograph of a temple entrance with a sign reading "ANDESHWARA TEMPLE" above the doorway. A man with long dark hair wearing an orange saffron robe and sandals walks down the steps, smiling, beneath a red and multicolored fringed umbrella held over him. Beside him, another man in an orange robe carries a small deity murti decorated with a white flower garland on a red tray. Behind them, several men in white dhotis and shirts follow. In the foreground on the left, a camera operator with a video camera films the procession. Red and white painted steps lead down, and a potted plant sits at the right. A small blue sign on the wall reads "No Photo and Video". Swamiji (probable): the walking man in saffron has long swept-back hair and saffron robe, a distinctive presentation, so the appearance-based label applies.
