Photograph of a long covered hall with a corrugated metal roof and steel railings, where a line of people walks along a red carpet and matting toward an open doorway. In the centre, a man in a saffron-orange robe with a rudraksha mala around his neck, shaved head, walks at the front of the line; his appearance is uncertain and he is recorded as a sannyasi in orange. Beside him is a man in white with a red-and-white shawl, and to the right are men in white dhotis with orange or yellow shawls. On the left, women in white saris with orange borders and a young girl in a yellow-and-white dress walk along matting. A framed picture and text panel hang on the white wall at upper right, and a line of people stands in the background.
