A photograph taken in a tent with orange-red walls and warm lighting. An elderly sannyasi with a long white beard, wearing an orange robe, a saffron turban and a white beaded mala, steps up onto a raised platform while leaning on a wooden staff, his left hand extended to a bystander. Beside him stands a tall bearded man in a red-orange kurta and a white pendant necklace, looking ahead. Around them, many people in orange and saffron robes, a man in a grey-blue sweater, and a photographer with a camera stand on a blue-and-yellow mat. The person in the foreground is partly visible, bare-shouldered in a white vest. Appearance-based label: the tall bearded man in red-orange clothing is not a clear a person candidate, so no identification is made; the elderly figure in orange with the turban and mala is a priest-like sannyasi.2013-02-12February 12 20132013-02-12February 12 20132013-02-12Night outdoor gathering at a decorated stage with green and gold paper streamers, orange and yellow pennants and a silver-fringed arch.
