A young man in a black t-shirt marked with the number 1 and light jeans stands in the middle, and a man in a grey shirt and khaki shorts stands behind him.

Indoor photo of a crowded hall with a bare concrete wall and a wooden door frame. Many seated sadhus and devotees wear saffron and orange robes, some with white-bearded elders in front and water bottles on the floor. Standing men wear red, orange and yellow turbans, yellow shawls and kurta-style clothes. A man in a dark polo shirt on the right carries a metal tray. Another standing man in a checked shirt holds a tray, and a woman in a purple salwar stands among the crowd. No clearly identifiable a person is shown at the front; the scene reads as a bandara-style gathering of renunciants and devotees.
