A photograph of a group of men gathered outdoors for a devotional ritual, most with palms pressed together in anjali mudra. The central figure, bowing with head lowered, has long dark hair, a full beard, a crown-like ornament, gold armlets and a heavy gold necklace, and wears a dark red-brown shawl draped over a bare chest, with red and white floral garlands around his neck. Around him, numerous devotees wear yellow and white marigold garlands, white dhotis with gold borders, and white tilaka and vibhuti markings. On the left, a man in an orange dhoti holds a tall wooden staff upright, and a rudraksha-beaded man stands at the edge. The setting appears to be an outdoor ashram courtyard with greenery and a red pillar behind the group.
