A photograph of four men in saffron-orange robes seated cross-legged on a white-covered stage in front of a decorative backdrop of red and pink draped curtains with green and blue tassels and floral vases. The man on the far left has long dark hair and a full beard and holds a mobile phone to his ear. The second from left wears an orange turban and has a long grey beard, with a bead necklace, and rests his hands on a brass tumbler set on a low wooden stool. The third from left is bald and clean-shaven, with his hands folded in his lap. Another saffron-clad man sits partly out of frame on the far right. Each seat has a brass tumbler and leaf plates with offerings on small wooden tables, and a green satin cloth covers the front of the stage. Speakers hang at the top right.

Rows of saffron-robed sadhus sit cross-legged on mats along a green carpet, each before a stainless steel thali and small bowls, with marigold petals scattered on the mats. A man in a rust-red turban and a rudraksha mala sits at the front left beside a bearded elder in orange with spectacles. Along the right, a standing man in orange robes gestures toward the seated row. Several ordinary sadhus in orange and saffron sit farther down the line. Most people are shown in profile or partly obscured, and no one can be clearly recognized as a person from appearance, so the figure's identity is uncertain.2015-09-15
