Outdoor photograph at a religious gathering with a red-and-white tent and a decorated red-and-gold ratha-style float behind the crowd. Four prominent men walk forward in saffron and orange sannyasi robes: on the left a man in a rust-orange turban and long rudraksha mala waves his hand; next to him a bearded man in orange cloth; beside them a long-haired, long-white-bearded elder in orange shawl with red-and-white beads and a red mala. On the far right a bare-shouldered devotee in white dhoti and red shawl wears gold necklaces. Behind them devotees in white dhotis with gold borders and marigold garlands crowd the path. No identification of the elder is made from appearance alone; the outdoor procession setting and orange robes suggest a sadhu procession.
