Outdoor photo on a tree-lined path beside red-walled buildings and a green gate. A central man wears a dark tall turban-style headwrap with a gold ornament, a red bindi and sandalwood-coloured tilak, and an orange-red robe with long beaded rudraksha-style necklaces. To his left, a man in orange-red robes with a yellow edge, a tilak and dark beads walks beside him. On the right, a man in orange-red robes and bead malas raises a long rod overhead. The central figure's appearance and turban cues are consistent with a person, but identity is uncertain from appearance alone.
