Outdoor photo of a crowd of devotees gathered on a paved platform under a pale blue sky, with palm trees and a low wall behind them. In the centre, a bald man in a white dhoti and white shawl stands with his back to the camera, flanked by several shaven-headed men in saffron-orange robes. Nearby, a woman with grey hair in a bun wears an orange shawl, another man wears a pale pink shirt with a white bag over his shoulder, and a man on the right wears a white top with an orange scarf. No identifiable a person is confidently visible from appearance, so the central white-clad figure is described by role only.
