A dense crowd of men sits closely packed in an outdoor gathering, many bare-chested with white sacred ash markings on their chests and foreheads and white cloth wrapped at their waists. Several wear white or grey-streaked hair, one older man has a long white beard and wears a red shawl, and others display white and red tilaka, and white and bead necklaces. Faces show concentrated, attentive expressions, and a few have yellow and red flags or decorations visible in the background. No clearly identifiable central figure is distinguishable from the appearance cues alone, so the subject remains unsure.
