Outdoor roadside photograph of a large crowd of devotees dressed in white shirts and white dhotis or trousers, many with saffron-orange flags raised and held aloft. A man in the foreground at centre folds his hands in a namaste gesture, and a grey-haired man with glasses stands at lower left. A tall tree, palms, pink flowering plants in the right foreground, and a parked truck and vehicles line the road behind them. No single person is clearly identifiable as a sannyasi or leader; the group appears to be dispersing or moving along the roadside.
