A photograph of a group walking along a dusty path beside a stone temple wall, with a policeman in khaki uniform and cap among them. In the centre a man in saffron-orange robes, a rudraksha mala and a white garland-like necklace, wearing a light green head cloth, walks forward; he may be the a person based on the saffron robes, long swept-back hair and rudraksha cues, though this is uncertain. Around him men in white dhotis and face masks, a man in a purple shirt, and a photographer with a camera carry or follow along; several others in saffron cloth walk behind. Dry grass and litter lie on the ground.
