Two saffron-robed men walk barefoot along a narrow path beside a red and white painted wall in a temple precinct. The man in front centre wears a rudraksha mala and a long gold-bordered orange-red dhoti and shawl, with a red headband and a tilak on his forehead, and his hair is swept back. Beside him a shaved-headed man in orange holds a small orange cloth and wears rudraksha beads. Behind them devotees in white dhotis and light shirts follow, and a man in glasses and a light shirt stands at the right edge. The front figure has long swept-back hair, a headband, saffron/orange ceremonial clothing and rudraksha malas, cues consistent with a swami, though his identity is uncertain from appearance.
