A smiling man in a red turban and maroon-brown robe with gold borders stands on a wet stone courtyard, raising one hand in greeting and holding a silver trident. He wears a heavy gold necklace with a large ornate pendant and a beaded mala. Behind him is a dark stone temple with a curved roof, decorated with colourful streamers and marigold garlands. On the left an ochre-robed sadhu holds a staff, and uniformed police officers stand nearby. On the right a bald man in maroon robes and rudraksha beads blesses a woman in orange sari, and a few other people in white and orange stand in the background.

A central figure in a deep maroon dhoti with gold border, a red turban, a large gold necklace and a trident raises one hand in blessing while standing on wet stone paving. Around him, devotees and sadhus in maroon, orange and white robes, some with bare upper bodies and rudraksha malas, press in with folded hands.
