A photograph of a crowded press scrum inside a large white tented pavilion lit by hanging lights. Many men with cameras, phones and notepads surround a central group. In the foreground, a figure wearing a saffron-orange turban and a beaded rudraksha-style necklace faces away from the camera. Beside him, a bald man in saffron-orange robes and wire-rimmed glasses holds a microphone, and a bald sadhu with rudraksha beads sits nearby. A man in white kurta with a rudraksha mala and another in a green shirt lean in. Several reporters hold phones and recorders, and a silver staff is visible at right.
