Three men sit cross-legged on a glossy grey stage floor in front of a dark blue draped curtain, smiling and looking to the left. The man on the left has a shaved head and wears a plain orange robe with white underlayers. The man in the centre has long dark hair with a topknot and wears an orange robe with a red and gold border. The man on the right has long dark curly hair with a topknot, wears an orange shawl over a white inner garment, and a rudraksha mala around his neck. The floor reflects them barefoot, and a watch and bangles are visible on their wrists. No candidate is clearly identifiable, so the figures are described by role and dress only.
