A photograph of a group walking along a brick-paved path between old stone walls and a yellow-washed building, with trees and a small weathered temple shrine behind them. A central figure in an orange-saffron dhoti and shawl, with long swept-back hair, a teal head cloth, bead necklaces and a tall gold-ornamented neck piece, walks barefoot while a man in a white shirt on the right points upward. Around them are several men in white dhotis and orange garments, some wearing rudraksha malas and teal head cloths, along with men in plain shirts and two uniformed police officers in khaki. About a dozen people are visible. The central figure is an appearance-based probable Swamiji in saffron ceremonial clothing with distinctive long hair and ornate necklaces.
