Photo of saffron-robed sadhus under a open-sided shelter on a green tarpaulin floor. In the centre, an older bearded man with long grey-white hair and a white tilak on his forehead, wearing an orange kurta and shawl, extends his hands toward a drummer. To his left, a drummer in red and gold attire plays a large drum, and a standard-bearer holds an orange flag. On the right, a bearded sadhu in orange robes stands beside a young boy in red. Background shows a parked white car and tents. No a person candidate can be confidently identified by appearance, so the identity is left unsure.
