A photograph of a gathering on a red carpet under a tent, with a gilded throne-like seat visible at left. A man with long swept-back dark hair, a gold ceremonial necklace and a saffron-orange robe stands smiling, gesturing with an open hand while speaking to others. He is. Around him, several men in orange robes and saffron shawls, two in white ritual dress with rudraksha malas, and a man in a blue shirt and white dhoti listen and talk. Some are barefoot, and a few hold rolled papers or a folded cloth.
