Photograph of a group of men in a temple-like hall with a wooden beamed ceiling. The central figure wears a black turban, a red-brown robe, a long multi-coloured flower garland with red and white blooms, a gold ornament on the chest, and gold armlets; he smiles and rests his arm on his raised hand. Around him, shirtless and saffron-clad men wear beaded rudraksha malas, black turbans or hair knots, and red-orange tilaks. A man on the right in a black turban and a rudraksha mala looks toward the centre. The bottom-left foreground shows a shaved-headed man in profile. Several people stand behind, most with rudraksha malas and forehead marks.
