A photo of a central saffron-robed figure with a white beard and shaved head walking barefoot through a decorated doorway, flanked by uniformed police officers in khaki with peaked caps and a white-clad attendant at his side. The doorway is garlanded with marigolds, pink and red gerbera flowers and mango leaves, with gold-toned ornamental panels on each side. Behind them, other saffron-robed sannyasis and devotees, one in a red turban, gather in a lit interior. The central man is in an orange robe, with a person cue: a saffron shawl and ornate clothing, though his appearance is not distinctive enough to confirm identity.
