A large gathering of saffron-robed sadhus and devotees sits on floor mats and cushions beneath an orange-and-white canopy supported by orange poles, at what appears to be a Kumbh Mela camp. In the centre, a group of seated saints wears orange and saffron robes, several with turbans and ornate necklaces; one bearded man in a saffron turban sits near a flower garland. A bare-chested man with a shawl sits at the right of the central platform. Surrounding them, many devotees in orange, white and pink clothing sit close together, some holding phones, and a few wear pink and red headcloths. The mood is one of attentive satsang, with crowded seating filling the foreground and sides of the tent.
