Outdoor photograph of a group of saffron-robed sannyasis walking along a paved path beneath a marigold garland canopy decorated with white flower strings and palm-leaf thatch. In front, a bald man in orange robes with a scarf raises one hand while looking up. Behind him, bearded and shaven-headed monks in orange follow, and a central monk wears a dark rudraksha mala and holds his hands together. Men in white shirts and dhotis, some carrying a folded orange cloth, stand alongside. A white building with arched blue-trimmed windows and a balcony behind them has an orange-clad figure in its doorway. Roughly fifteen to twenty people are visible.
