Photograph of three men in saffron-orange robes walking barefoot along a dirt road beside a wire fence with concrete posts. The central man, with long dark hair swept back, wears an orange shawl draped over his shoulder and a white flower garland around his neck; he appears to be the leading figure, and the presentation cues (long hair, saffron clothing, garland) are consistent with a person walking as a procession-style walkaround. A bearded man in orange robes walks at left and another orange-clad figure follows behind. Behind the fence are palm trees, mango trees and dry grass under a bright white sky.
