Outdoor photo of three men in saffron-orange robes seated close together under a canopy. On the left, a man wears an orange turban and a tilak mark on his forehead. In the centre, a shaved-headed man wears an orange shawl draped over his head and shoulders, with his arms folded. On the right, a smiling man with long swept-back dark hair wears a dark rudraksha mala over orange robes; he is a probable Swamiji candidate by long hair, rudraksha mala and saffron clothing. A photographer in white stands behind them with a camera, and a few other people in orange and blue shirts are partly visible in the background. Bright sunlight, a wooden pole and white tents are visible behind them.
