A photograph of a temple entrance crowded with people. In the centre, a bearded, smiling man in a red shawl and a large pink-and-red floral garland is being guided through the doorway, holding a small pink object. Beside him, a bald, saffron-robed man wearing a rudraksha-style necklace and a garland of white jasmine and red flowers, with a shaved head and a tilak, is also smiling. Uniformed police officers in khaki and a man in a yellow shirt flank them, with devotees and a video camera on the right. The stone walls and metal railings suggest a temple setting.
