A photograph inside a pink-walled hall with a pale marble floor, where a large seated gathering of saffron-robed sannyasis and holy men sits in a wide circle. Many wear orange or saffron turbans and garments, several with white beards, and some hold rudraksha malas. On the back wall hang painted devotional images of Radha and Krishna and a deity with a trident. A single standing figure in an orange robe and tall turban addresses the circle from the middle, while people at the far right wear white. An open doorway shows more people outside. Lower-right foreground shows a seated man in orange with a dark rudraksha mala and an orange-and-saffron robe.
