A photograph of a tent interior with a red carpet and cushioned seating in front of large devotional banners showing Ganesha, Shiva with a trident standing before snowy mountains, a multi-headed deity, and Shiva and Parvati seated together. Six men in saffron and orange robes sit cross-legged on cushions. Most wear rudraksha mala beads, and one sits with a white shawl and folded hands. A standing man on the left wears a long orange shawl and stands facing them. On the right, a man in white robes and an orange turban stands with his back partly turned, and a seated man in dark red robes sits on the floor. Several seated sadhus have long grey beards.
