A photograph of a stage draped with a maroon cloth and decorated with a fringe of yellow and red marigold garlands. Four saffron-robed sadhus sit on the stage: at left a bald elder in orange, next a figure in orange with a saffron turban and rudraksha-style beads, then a figure in orange with an orange turban who leans toward him, and at far right a shaved-headed man in orange seated on the stage edge. A white wall with windows and a wall fan sits behind them, with a dark curtain at left and an orange paper garland along the top edge. The scene suggests a seated gathering or satsang. No readable caption identifies the people.
