Photograph of a nighttime gathering under a saffron-coloured canopy with string lights. On the left, a man with long dark hair in a red-maroon turban with a gold crescent ornament, wearing heavy gold necklaces, gold bangles and a maroon cloth, stands with palms pressed together in a greeting. Beside him, an elderly sadhu with a long white beard and saffron turban, wearing saffron robes and rudraksha malas, smiles and holds a staff. Several other men in orange and saffron robes and a woman with dark hair stand around them. Nobody's appearance here clearly matches the a person candidate cues, so the figures are described by role only.
