A seated gathering of saffron-robed sannyasis and devotees on a striped woven mat under a canopy with red and white fabric and hanging decorations. In the foreground, a man in white ritual clothes sits cross-legged beside a row of saffron-robed monks. On the far right, a younger man wears an orange turban, saffron robes and a long gold-beaded necklace, with long swept-back hair; he appears to be a person, based on the turban, saffron clothing and distinctive gold necklace. Behind them, many people sit or stand under the tent, some in white and some in orange.
