A large outdoor gathering of saffron-robed sannyasis seated on a striped colourful mat under a canopy decorated with marigold garlands and banana-leaf and palm-frond decorations. In the front row, several monks in orange and ochre robes sit cross-legged, one wearing a rudraksha mala. At the center, a man in white ceremonial clothing sits with hands in lap. On the right, a man with long swept-back hair, an orange robe and a long gold-beaded necklace sits with hands folded; beside him, another saffron-clad monk wears an orange head wrap. A camera operator films from the right edge. Behind them, a dense crowd of devotees, some in white and some in hats, stands and sits under the canopy. Swamiji (probable) appears to be the man with long hair and gold necklace in orange robes, seated in the front row.
