Outdoors on a bare reddish-brown earth ground with palm trees and a clear sky behind, a man in a long white robe and black head covering stands holding a long bamboo staff upright. Around him a loose group of people in mostly white clothing stand and watch, some in white kurtas, one in a bright green kurta, one with a saffron-orange cloth draped over the shoulder, and several men wearing yellow lanyards. More people sit in rows in the background on the left, dressed in white. A scattered handful of objects lies on the ground, and a shadow of the photographer falls across the foreground.
