Long rows of saffron-robed sannyasis in orange turbans sit cross-legged on a white cloth runner along a polished floor, with green banana leaves laid before them holding yellow flowers, fruit and food offerings. Several sadhus have white sacred markings on their bodies and rudraksha malas around their necks. Behind them, seated devotees in white clothing watch from rows of chairs, and a man in a white dhoti stands at the right side near a camera tripod. A large screen and a gold-railed platform appear in the background. No single figure is identified as a person in this frame.
