Aerial view of a large outdoor ceremony on red-brick stepped ghats. Hundreds of saffron-robed sannyasis and devotees sit in rows on the steps. Near the centre, a seated figure on a small raised platform with a red patterned rug is attended by a standing man in saffron and red clothing. Above, a blue-and-white parasol and a white umbrella shade the platform. Drummers in saffron stand at the upper left, and white-clad devotees sit at the lower corners and along the left edge.
