A large outdoor group photograph on a paved stone courtyard. Well over a hundred bare-chested men and boys in white dhotis and some in orange cloths stand and sit in rows on colourful striped mats and blue mats. Golden domed open pavilions with lattice tops and tall wooden poles stand behind them under an overcast sky. At the centre front, a seated figure wears a pink garment and a tall ornate crown, with a pink deity murti or figure beside a pale-skinned person seated in lotus-like meditation posture. Trees line the edges of the scene.
