Photograph of a row of seated sadhus in saffron and orange robes at a ceremonial stage in front of a red draped backdrop and ornate silver-and-pink shrine decorations. Several elders have long white or grey beards and white hair; one wears a red turban, another has a yellow shawl and rudraksha mala, and one on the right has white tripundra markings and wears glasses. Each sits behind a long low silver-ornate table holding a silver tray heaped with yellow and orange marigold flowers. One seated man on the left holds a red booklet, and a golden throne-like seat with a arched canopy stands at the left edge. Five or six clearly visible seated men are shown, with a few more partly visible at the far left.
