Photo of a press scrum outside a temple colonnade, with reporters pressing microphones and cameras toward a group of saffron-robed sannyasis. A man with long swept-back dark hair, a red bindi, a red and gold beaded necklace, ornate gold bangles and an orange garment gestures mid-speech with a smile, giving the group a person appearance cue. Beside him stands a shaved-headed monk in orange with a rudraksha mala. An older shaved-headed sannyasi on the right wears a white forehead mark, a rudraksha headband, rudraksha malas and an orange shawl, holding papers. Reporters with television microphones marked with station logos, a cameraman with a shoulder camera, and a man in a light blue striped shirt fill the frame. Stone pillars of a temple hall are behind the crowd.
