Outdoor photograph of a crowd in saffron robes beneath palm trees, with red and orange festival bunting strung overhead and a decorated canopy at upper right. In the foreground a bald, white-bearded elder in orange robes with a red bindi walks at centre, flanked by a shaven-headed monk in orange with a white urdhva-pundra mark on the left and a bearded man in orange with long hair tied up on the right, who holds the elder's arm. Many saffron-robed monks and white-clad devotees fill the background, and a white-clad attendant stands at lower left. No a person candidate is clearly distinguishable by the required cues, so the identity is uncertain.
