Photograph taken at night in a colonnaded temple corridor with orange-roofed shrine structures behind. A man in a saffron-orange robe, with long swept-back hair, a red bindi and tilak, and a white and magenta flower garland, walks forward with his hands placed on his chest. Swamiji (probable): long swept-back hair, saffron robe and white-and-magenta garland, matching the page's account of his visit. Beside and behind him walk a young woman in a white kurta, a girl in a red top, a young woman in a green kurta and white dhoti-style trousers, all wearing black beaded necklaces, a bearded man in white, a uniformed guard, and a older man in a white checked shirt with palms pressed together in greeting. Dark stone idols are visible at the left edge.
