Outdoor photo on a red-tiled temple walkway beside a cream colonnaded temple hall under a bright blue sky. A bearded man with long dreadlocks wears a maroon-brown draped robe and many layered rudraksha malas, walking barefoot and smiling. Around him are several men with matted hair and bare upper bodies in white and orange dhotis, some with rudraksha malas and vibhuti on their foreheads, and one carrying a folded red cloth. A man in a white shirt and white dhoti walks in the foreground at right, and a man in a white shirt stands at left. Ornate orange-and-gold railings and a pink lamp post frame the scene. The group appears to be walking through a temple precinct.
