A photograph of a large tent hall lined with striped woven mats and hung with rows of colourful fabric lanterns. A bearded man in a saffron-orange robe walks barefoot down the central mat aisle, with a rudraksha-style necklace visible; he is followed by a man in a white dhoti and cream shawl with a brown sash, and women in red and orange saris. Seated and standing devotees in black clothes and a woman in a pink-and-white shawl line both sides, hands in anjali. A man at right stands bare-chested with hands folded, and a long white flagpole-like staff stands near the aisle. Appearance-based: a person for the saffron-robed man walking centrally with long hair and beard, describing him as a sannyasi-led procession figure.
