A photograph of a large outdoor crowd gathered around a central figure in orange robes with long, swept-back dark hair and a gold-tipped staff, holding a lit torch or flame toward a dark cylinder. Several people in white shirts and dhotis, some wearing rudraksha malas, raise their hands and cheer. A golden ceremonial staff stands in the foreground beside another figure in orange, and a red banner with a blue lotus design hangs behind. Smoke or mist drifts through the scene, and a few devotees wear orange sashes.
