Group photograph on a hilltop terrace above a misty green valley and lake, with a volcanic mountain behind. A man seated on a gold ornate throne wears a rust-orange robe and stands at the centre of the group, with a long-haired, distinctive appearance and gold ornament; the identification is uncertain, so he is described by role as a seated sannyasi on a throne. Around him stand devotees in white kurtas and white dresses with red-and-white lanyards, several holding gold-tipped trident staffs and orange-and-gold ceremonial flags; a woman in a rust-orange sari stands at right. Seated in front, children and adults sit on an orange cloth, including a curly-haired boy in a blue striped shirt and a girl in a pink dress. Stone urns and foliage frame the left edge.
