Several people in saffron-orange clothing walk through a covered hall strung with green, pink and white fairy lights, with framed black-and-white portraits of sannyasis on the walls. In the foreground, a bald older man in an orange kurta with a shoulder cloth and white horizontal tripundra marks on his forehead looks downward. Beside him, a woman in an orange sari with a red bindi and a man in orange robes with glasses follow. Behind them, a woman in an orange top wears a beaded necklace and red bindi. Other figures and seated people appear at the left edge. No a person candidate is distinguished by the cues required for identification, so the role is described as a monk in orange robes.
