Outdoor photograph beneath a large spreading tree on a polished dark stone platform. A group of saffron-robed sannyasis stand barefoot in conversation, several wearing saffron turbans and rudraksha malas. One man at the right wears a saffron robe and beard with a garland and mala, and another in the center wears a saffron turban and an ornate chain. A man in white dhoti and orange shawl stands at the left, and men in plain clothes and a light vest stand around the edges. The scene reads as a temple-grounds gathering near a sacred tree.
