A group of saffron-robed sannyasis walks barefoot through a stone temple colonnade, with a bearded man in a white shirt and light trousers holding a camera and a man in a white dhoti with a sacred thread and rudraksha mala on the right. The central figure has long dark hair swept back, a saffron robe with yellow borders, a rudraksha mala, a ceremonial necklace and white arm bands, and appears to be smiling. Uniformed police and onlookers stand along the sides. A photographer at left holds a camera. Stone carved pillars and a yellow sign mark the temple interior.
