A photograph taken inside a pink and gold-patterned tent with a green mat floor. In the centre, a seated man in orange robes, with a long beard and an orange turban, sits on a white cushioned seat behind a red-draped table with a striped cloth. He wears a rudraksha-style mala and gold necklace, and his appearance matches the page's cue of an orange-robed central figure, so this is a person in a seated position. Two ornate multicoloured parasols stand behind him, and a trident is visible on the left. Around him, devotees in white clothes and orange shawls stand and sit. Four young men in yellow tops and blue trousers with yellow headbands stand in the foreground, one holding a large drum-like instrument, with a fifth figure beside them.
