A photograph of a dirt path beside a wire fence and tall green grass. A figure in an orange saffron robe with long dark hair stands at the centre facing a line of men in white ritual dhotis and shawls with red borders, many with shaved heads and white markings on their foreheads. One man near the front wears a gold necklace and holds a small object, and a man in a white shirt and dhoti stands beside the robed figure. Several men stand along the right, and a man at left holds a white folder. The orange-robed figure's face is not visible, so the person's identity cannot be determined from the image. Concrete blocks and gravel appear at the right background.
