Night photograph of a crowd at an outdoor religious gathering lit by a bright overhead lamp and handheld phone lights. In the centre, a bearded man with long grey-streaked hair wears an orange-red robe and presses his palms together in namaste, facing a man seen from behind with long dark hair, a red turban and a white flower garland, who holds a tall silver staff with a finial. To the right, a young man with a shaved head wears an orange robe and gold-beaded necklaces, with a red tilak on his forehead. Other devotees in red and maroon robes and white forehead markings stand nearby, and saffron flags fly in the background. Several people hold up phones to record.
