A man in an orange saffron robe with a long orange-red garland and a dark rudraksha-style mala walks barefoot at the centre, flanked by uniformed police officers in khaki.

Behind them, a woman in a blue sari with yellow blouse, men in white dhotis and shirts, and a shaved-headed monk in orange follow. Carved sculptures of deities are visible on the upper wall and a shrine doorway stands to the left. A blurred arm holding a camera intrudes in the right foreground.

In the centre, a bare-chested, bearded sadhu with matted hair and a wrapped orange-brown cloth walks forward. Beside him, a man in saffron robes wears a marigold garland and holds a rudraksha mala, with a smaller saffron-clad attendant behind. A uniformed police officer in khaki walks ahead of the group. Devotees in white shirts and dhotis, and cameramen filming, surround the procession, and a garlanded offering tray is carried above the crowd. The swami in the saffron robes is a person by appearance, with saffron clothing, ornate garland and mala, but he is not clearly identifiable, so his status is unsure.2012-01-07A photograph of a group walking barefoot along a covered temple corridor with stone pillars and a corrugated roof.
