Photo of saffron-robed monastics ascending a red-carpeted stair at an outdoor festival pavilion decorated with yellow and orange banners, painted cloth pillars and hanging bananas. In front, a lean sannyasi with an orange turban, long dark hair and a rudraksha mala walks toward the viewer with his arm extended. Behind him a bald man in orange robes climbs the steps, followed by another orange-clad man and a figure in a dark suit. Palm fronds, a canopy and parked cars fill the background. The leading figure's cues include an orange turban, long hair and rudraksha beads, but the face is not identifiable enough to confirm identity, so he is described only by role and unsure is set. Four to five people are visible.
