A photograph of a large outdoor ritual gathering under a white tent canopy with red curtains. Many bare-chested male devotees stand and sit on a striped multicoloured mat, most wearing white dhotis and orange-and-white headbands and sacred thread or rudraksha necklaces. In the centre, a bald older man with a white beard wears a dark wooden bead mala across his chest and stands with hands folded. A small boy in white clothes stands near the front left. Many others crowd the background, some seated with eyes closed in meditation. The scene suggests a Rudra Abhishekam or similar satsang practice.

Many wear red-and-white cloth wraps around the waist and white dhotis, and several wear red lanyards with ID badges around their necks. Some have rudraksha-style necklaces. A few women in white and red clothing stand at the back. No single figure is clearly identified as a person, so no appearance-based candidate is claimed.2016-09-09
