A photograph taken in a narrow tiled corridor of a palace with a dark wooden ceiling and painted murals along the left wall showing an elephant, figures in a colonnaded courtyard, people bathing in a pool and a tree. Four men walk in a line toward the right. The front man on the right wears an orange saffron robe, a long gold necklace and has long dark hair, smiling as he looks ahead; he is a person in orange robes, and the appearance-based cues are long hair, saffron clothing and a gold necklace, so he is a person candidate. Beside and behind him, the other three men are bare-chested with white dhoti-style cloths and walk barefoot; one has a moustache and a mostly bald head, one is white-haired, and one is partly hidden behind them in white. A small wall niche with an oil lamp is visible on the right.
