A group walks together down a marble-floored hallway inside a building with cream walls and a wall of framed photographs on the left. At the centre, a figure with long dark hair wears an orange saffron robe and a green shawl, holding hands with an older man in a white shirt, grey trousers and a pendant necklace. Beside them, a person in orange and maroon robes holds a white flower garland. On the left, a man in white dhoti and kurta wears a yellow shawl. Other attendees follow, including a man in a striped shirt and a woman in pink. The centre figure has distinctive long hair and saffron robes, but appearance alone is not sufficient for confident identification, so the role is described as a saffron-robed sannyasi.
