A man with long dark hair and a trimmed beard stands in front of a seated crowd under a corrugated metal shelter with banana plants behind him. He wears a rust-red shawl draped over his shoulders and a long gold beaded necklace, with white and red tilak marks on his forehead. Behind him, many men sit closely together, several bare-chested in white dhotis, some wearing orange or white head cloths, with a banner-like pink canopy overhead.
