A photograph inside a plain white-walled hall with a corrugated metal ceiling and ceiling fans. A saffron-clad man with a shaved head, bare-chested with a crimson-and-orange wrap and a garland of red and white flowers, raises one arm toward the ceiling while barefoot. Beside him a man in white clothes stands at a small table, and a boy in white holds a numbered shirt. A photographer at right with a camera and several white-clad men and saffron-robed sannyasis stand nearby, and a red curtain hangs by a window. Right-hand figures wear white dhotis and orange robes. The saffron-robed man at the far left is partly cropped. No identity cue is visible to support a person candidate beyond robes and garland.
