Night-time outdoor photo of a group of people gathered on a dark ground. In the centre, a man wears a white head cloth and cream shawl over white kurta and dhoti, his hands clasped in greeting with a long-haired person in saffron-orange robes who is bare-shouldered. Around them stand devotees in white kurtas with orange shawls and rudraksha malas, and a person in a green top at left. The orange-robed figure has long swept-back dark hair, which matches the a person cues only loosely, so identity is uncertain; the central figure in white is a devotee-style person in ordinary white ritual clothing.
