A narrow rock cleft with a dark cave opening sits between two grey stone walls, with grass growing along the top edge. Six people stand on a grassy floor facing the opening. Several wear saffron-orange or red robes, and others wear white dhotis or white shirts. Two figures on the centre-left raise their arms and point upward toward the rock face, while a shaved-headed man in orange and a man in white stand nearby.
