Photo inside a temple courtyard with grey stone pillars and marigold garlands hung across them. In the foreground, a large gleaming gold kalasha stands on a stone base. A man in an orange turban with rudraksha mala beads and orange robes stands with hands clasped, looking forward; the cues are a turban, orange robes and beads, and his appearance is consistent with the a person candidate, so this is a probable identification. Beside him, a younger man in white with an orange shawl points upward. To the right, a bearded man in orange robes stands with folded arms, and several devotees in white and orange move through the crowd.
