A photograph of two men walking down the stone steps beside an empty-looking rectangular pool at an outdoor amphitheatre. The foreground man wears a reddish-brown robe over a gold chain and a gold pendant, with a white tilak on his forehead and long dark hair swept back; he has a gold necklace and a rudraksha-style mala on his chest. The second man, further left, wears a bright orange cloth wrap, bare-chested, with a rudraksha mala and long hair tied back. A striped woven mat with pink, green and blue stripes lies on the steps. Behind them, tiers of red seating hold many people in orange and white clothing, with more orange-robed figures on the middle steps near a small seated group. Trees and a stone building frame the background.
