A large group of saffron-robed sadhus and devotees stands in shallow water at a riverbank, with a red-and-yellow pennant canopy at the upper left. In the centre, a man with a shaved head and orange shawl, wearing a rudraksha mala, walks forward while a bearded man in orange stands beside him. Several monks in orange shawls surround them, and a few men in white shirts and yellow scarves stand behind. A young boy in pink-orange robes holds a book at the lower right. Some heads are topped with orange turbans. The scene appears to be a ritual gathering by the water, with the water rippling around their feet.
