Four young people crouch together on a terrace with a hillside behind them, smiling at the camera. Each wears black clothing with orange shawls or sashes and rudraksha malas, and each has white ash marks on the forehead or face. A small orange-clad doll with a red-tipped headpiece and garlands sits in the centre. Badges with orange lettering hang from their clothing, and one leans over the others with an arm around a shoulder.
