A large crowd of saffron-robed sadhus and seated devotees sits on green matting under a yellow tent at a Kumbha Mela style gathering. Many wear orange and saffron robes with marigold garlands, some with orange turbans and white-bearded elders among them. In the foreground a woman with dark hair faces the crowd, while a man in a white kurta photographs with a camera and others hold up mobile phones. Banners with Hindi text hang behind them. The scene suggests a satsang or discourse with a seated audience of sadhus and devotees.
