Outdoor photograph of two saffron-robed sadhus walking barefoot across a stone-paved temple courtyard in front of a pink colonnaded temple wall with arched windows and a gopuram tower. The central figure has long, swept-back dark hair, a red forehead mark, a saffron garment and a white-and-orange floral garland, and smiles broadly. Beside him an older bald, bearded man in orange robes carries a white towel over his shoulder. Around them a crowd of men in white shirts and dhotis, some wearing pink rosettes, and women in saris walk along; one man on the right holds a bundle of green leaves and flowers. Swamiji (probable) is the central figure with long hair, saffron robe and garland, labelled as a candidate by appearance only.
