A photograph taken at night under a canopy with striped and patterned red fabric. In the centre, a man in an orange saffron robe draped over the shoulder and a long rudraksha mala stands with a light pink and white checked turban and a red tilak on his forehead; he has a swept-back look and is smiling. Two men stand beside him in white dhotis and bare upper bodies: the one on the left, seen from behind, wears a red-bead necklace and has his arms folded, and the one on the right has white hair and a white moustache. Behind them are stainless steel pots, cooking vessels and a kitchen area with a painted backdrop and scattered debris on the ground. Appearance-based label: a person in the centre, wearing saffron robes and rudraksha mala.
