Outdoor gathering under a large striped canopy with a red and brown patterned cloth top, supported by bamboo poles, on bare red earth. A central figure with long dark hair and a beard sits on a red cushioned throne with a white draped seat, wearing an orange robe and a beaded necklace. Around him, many people in saffron-orange robes sit cross-legged on striped mats, including young men with bare shoulders and rows of seated devotees. Women in colourful saris sit at the right and left edges, and a man in white stands near the front left. Vehicles and trees are visible beyond the canopy. The central figure matches the a person candidate by long hair, saffron clothing and throne-seated position, though appearance alone is not conclusive.
