Photograph of a crowded tented gathering under a red and orange canopy with draped red fabric. In the centre, a man in a rust-red robe wears a rust-red turban and a thick brown bead necklace, smiling as he listens. To his right, an older bearded man with long white hair and an orange robe strung with rudraksha beads gestures in conversation. On the left, a man with long dreadlocks and a beard wears a rust-red wrap. Around them, men in striped polo shirts, a checked shirt and white clothes stand close together on a red carpet. The centre figure and the bearded man in orange are the only ones with distinctive ceremonial cues, so the identity of the centre figure is uncertain.
