A photograph inside an open-sided pavilion with orange tarpaulin ceiling and red curtains, looking out onto palm trees and a white SUV. In the centre, a man in an orange sannyasi robe stands with palms pressed together in namaste. To the right, two young men in white dhotis and yellow shawls stand with hands joined in prayer, one wearing a rudraksha mala. Behind, another figure in an orange robe bends forward, and a person in white stands further back. On the left floor, a striped mat and purple cloth; a steel vessel and small brass dishes sit on a table. Whether the central figure is a person cannot be determined from appearance, so the role is given as a sannyasi.
