A photograph of a row of about ten men seated cross-legged on colourful patterned mats along a green carpeted floor inside a white tent. Most wear saffron and orange robes and turbans or head cloths; the foremost man on the right wears a grey shawl over saffron cloth and a grey turban-like headwrap, and a man in the middle wears an orange shawl with a white beard. Several have long beards and matted hair, and one wears a white rudraksha-style mala. A tent pole stands at the left edge. No candidate is clearly identifiable as a person from appearance, so the group is described by role as sadhus and devotees.
