A group of men walks barefoot across a stone courtyard in front of an ornate temple gopuram-style facade with a Karur Vysya Bank sign over its pillared entrance. Several men in saffron-orange robes with rudraksha malas lead the procession, one carrying a blue cloth bag, while others in white dhotis and shirts walk alongside them. A few men at the edges are also in white. The setting appears to be a South Indian temple at Tiruvannamalai, with palms and hills behind.
