A photograph of a crowd walking along a stone-paved temple courtyard beside a tall granite wall, with trees and a temple gopuram visible in the background. Men in white dhotis and shirts walk closely around a central figure wearing an orange-saffron garment and a white dhoti; a man in a light blue shirt and a man in a black shirt and grey trousers walk in the foreground. Uniformed police officers stand near the trees at left, and several women in saffron and colourful saris stand at the far right. A stone nandi-like carving sits at the right edge. The central figure's features are not clearly visible enough to confirm identity.
