A seated row of saffron-robed sannyasis and devotees sits on a yellow cloth beneath a red tent with marigold garlands and small round emblems on the walls. In front of each person is a low ornate wooden stool holding a brass thali with white flowers, fruit and small clay cups. The foremost figures include a bald man in orange with a rudraksha mala, a bespectacled bald man in orange with a mala, a bearded man in orange beside a woman in orange with folded hands, and an older woman in an orange shawl with a bangle at the right edge. Several people in the back row wear orange or maroon cloth with a mix of bald and bearded heads, and one wears a maroon turban. The scene looks like a seated ritual or meal in a camp tent.
