Photograph of a group of about 15 shaved-headed male sannyasis in saffron and maroon robes with gold-edged borders dancing energetically on a polished white marble floor. Several wear rudraksha malas and small earrings; their arms are raised and bent in lively movements. Behind them, a row of seated people in white clothing watches, and at the right edge are gilded deity figures and a red fabric backdrop. Some dancers smile broadly.
