Night photo of a jubilant group of about a dozen men in saffron-orange robes outdoors, cheering with raised arms, thumbs up and V-signs. Two men in front hold terracotta pots, one of them wearing an orange t-shirt printed with a portrait of a bearded figure in a red headdress. Others wear rudraksha malas and smile broadly against a dark background of trees and a reddish wall. The mood is celebratory, consistent with a Janmashtami festival gathering.
