Photograph of four men walking barefoot across a paved stone courtyard beside a tall stone temple wall with pink-painted top and carved animal figures along the roofline. In the centre, a man with long swept-back hair wears an orange dhoti and kurta with a gold border and a heavy gold-bead necklace, hands folded at his chest. Beside him on the left, an older man with glasses and a short beard wears orange robes and carries an orange cloth. Behind them, two bald men in white dhotis with gold borders walk; one carries a pink object. The swami-like central figure's identity is uncertain from appearance alone, so this is a visual match only.
