A long-haired man in a saffron-orange robe with a rudraksha mala, the probable Swamiji, stands at centre holding one end of a long white rope, while a shaved-headed man in white kurta and pants holds a stick and the other end, the rope lying coiled on the ground. Nearby, a bald man in white robes holds a small clay pot and a stick. Devotees in white and blue saris and white kurtas watch, including a young girl in pink and a child in green. A parked white van and SUVs sit in the background, and another saffron-robed man stands at the right edge.
