Photograph of a large seated audience at an indoor hall, with rows of men in white shirts and dhotis and some women in sarees. Two saffron-robed figures walk through the aisle in the foreground: the front one, a young man with a shaved head, wears an orange cloth and holds his hands together in namaskar; the one beside him wears a maroon head cloth, a long white beard and an orange robe and also holds his hands together in namaskar. Their presence suggests a sannyasi procession, though the figure's identity is not established from appearance. Many attendees sit on white plastic chairs and floor mats.
