A photograph of a seated gathering of saffron-robed sadhus in a small white-walled room lit by a ceiling fan, with an ornate silver-shafted staff standing upright near the centre. Several elderly sadhus in orange and saffron robes, some wearing orange turbans, sit in grey armchairs and on a pink and dark carpet around low glass tables holding water bottles. A man in a pale peach garment sits at the left, and a bare-chested man with a white dhoti and gold necklace sits on the floor near the staff. Other people in orange clothing sit in the foreground. No physical person matching a recognisable a person appearance is clearly identifiable, so no identification is made.
