A crowded outdoor photograph beside a rocky, tree-lined slope. In the lower right foreground, a man in an orange turban and orange robe, with a shaved head and a green leafy garland, is pressed among devotees. The turban and robe are saffron-orange, and his cues are a head wrap and saffron clothing with a garland, though his face is only partly visible, so the identity is uncertain. Around him, men in white shirts and a cap push forward, one holding a video camera and another a still camera. Women in orange and pink saris reach up with raised arms and smiles at the right edge. A red and white canopy with tasselled fringe hangs at the upper right, and an orange flag is tied to a pole at the top left.
