Outdoor photo at dusk of a procession arriving at a temple complex with pink stone architecture and a dome. A large yellow umbrella with crystal fringe is held above a saffron-robed sannyasi wearing an orange turban and a gold-bead garland, who stands beside a black car with a trident-shaped ornament on its bonnet. Around him, several men in white dhotis with orange and gold garlands, one bare-chested monk in ochre cloth, and uniformed police officers in dark caps and khaki shirts guide the crowd. Onlookers and devotees press close, some holding colourful packets. A loudspeaker is mounted on the temple tower, and a white event tent stands behind the wall.

An ornate yellow umbrella is held above the group, and saffron flags fly nearby. Police officers in dark uniforms and caps hold back the crowd of devotees, many in white and blue shirts.
