A seated group of saffron-robed sadhus and followers in a plain room with a patterned carpet and a whitewashed brick wall. At left, a bald man in a maroon dhoti with gold border and gold armband sits with gold beaded necklaces and a brown shawl, gesturing with his hands. Beside him, a young man in white kurta holds a phone. Around the circle, older sadhus in orange robes sit with white and grey beards and hair; one wears a red turban and rudraksha mala, another a red-orange head covering. A woman in orange robes and head wrap sits at right. Foreground figures with grey hair are seen from behind, and a child in red clothing appears at lower right. Two plastic water bottles sit near the carpet edge. Five to ten people visible; the description reflects a gathering of Mahanirvani akhada sadhus. Appearance suggests a probable identifiable figure among the seated group, but the cues are not distinctive enough to confirm.
