Photograph taken at night at an outdoor evening event. A seated man in saffron-orange robes and an orange head wrap, wearing a white-and-red flower garland, sits on a white-covered bed or raised seat, hands resting in his lap. Behind him, a man in a white kurta and a bearded man with long hair in white clothing stand beside the seat, one extending a hand toward the seated man. Around them, many men in white shirts and dhotis, some wearing red-and-white garlands, crowd close and sit on a blue-and-white striped mat in the foreground. A small silver-wrapped offering and flowers rest on the bed. The seated man in orange has distinctive saffron robes and head wrap, so the appearance-based label applies: a person, seated and receiving devotees.
