Photograph of a ceremonial gathering in an indoor hall. Several shaved-headed young sannyasis in orange and rust-coloured dhotis and shawls, with rudraksha malas, stand and sit on a white floor. In the centre, a sannyasi in rust-red robes with gold-banded edging and layered rudraksha and gold bead necklaces holds a small object in his hand while gesturing toward a taller companion in rust and gold garments with a rudraksha garland and gold beads. A boy in orange with a maroon sash and rudraksha mala looks down near a pair of orange sandals. Men in pink and white shirts stand behind, and a light-coloured wall and red drapery frame the scene.
