A photograph of a seated group of renunciant devotees in orange and saffron robes and orange turbans, many with rudraksha malas, sitting with palms joined in namaskar before rows of banana-leaf plates holding food offerings. Several have white vibhuti or tilak marks on their foreheads and bare upper bodies with white markings. The foreground shows a glossy white floor and a striped pink and purple cloth, with a pale background wall. A few men in the rear row wear deep red and orange wraps. No single figure is clearly identifiable as a person, so no a person candidate is asserted.
