A photograph of a crowded indoor gathering. In the centre, a bald elderly man with a red tilak on his forehead wears an orange saffron shawl over his shoulders and holds the hands of a young boy in a red top. To the right, a figure in a yellow-green turban and sleeveless yellow-green top reaches toward them, while a bald man in orange robes stands in the foreground. A man in a white shirt is at the left edge, and a shaved-headed man with white vibhuti marks and a gold necklace appears at the far right. Behind them hang orange cloth and a colourful wall banner. No a person candidate is clearly identifiable from appearance alone, so the central figure is described by role only.
