Several men walk along a dirt road beside parked silver SUVs, with a stone wall and trees at right and a town visible on the hillside behind. In the centre, a smiling man with long swept-back dark hair wears an orange-saffron robe, a long dark rudraksha mala and sandals, and walks ahead of the group. Around him, men in white dhotis and shawls, some bare-chested, carry phones or walk in step, and a man in a red kurta with a white dhoti stands at right. Several of the men wear orange or cream sashes and beaded necklaces.
