A seated row of saffron-robed sannyasis and devotees on a blue-carpeted outdoor stage under a white tent, with purple drapery hung with marigold garlands and yellow-skirted stage edging. Several figures in orange and saffron robes sit in gold-framed red chairs; one front-left figure wears a yellow-orange turban, another a long white beard and cream shawl. A white-draped table with a red-and-gold canopy sits centre stage, and men in white shirts stand behind the row. The stage has marigold-festooned edging. The main figures are seated priests and devotees, with no clear visual match to any named individual.
