Photograph of a crowded outdoor gathering in strong backlight. In the lower left, a figure in an orange saffron-coloured top with long dreadlocked hair tied back and a pink hair clip sits with one hand resting on a stone or altar surface, wearing a rudraksha mala around the neck. Behind and to the right, several men in striped and light shirts lean forward attentively, one with his hands together near his face. A striped maroon and orange cloth covers part of the surface in front. The person in orange appears to be a sannyasi or devotee receiving or offering blessing at a ritual stone.
