Night photograph at a temple entrance with a gold-covered doorway behind the group. Two saffron-robed men in the centre wear pink flower garlands with green leaves; the younger man on the left, smiling, has a red bindi, a white beaded necklace and a bangle, and the elderly robed man in the middle has a rudraksha mala, gold necklace and a headband. Behind them a uniformed police officer and a khaki-clad official stand watch among a crowd. On the right, a man in a grey shirt with white tripundra and a saffron-orange-robed devotee with a red bindi and rudraksha beads stand nearby. The younger robed man may be a person based on the saffron robe, garland and smiling presence, though identity is uncertain.
