A group photograph of about sixteen young men in white kurta-style clothes, many wearing rudraksha malas and name badges, posed in rows on a white-tiled stage. Some sit cross-legged in front, and a few stand behind holding saffron flags and a gold ceremonial staff. Behind them on an ornate gold throne draped with flower garlands sits a figure in saffron robes and an orange turban, holding a ceremonial staff; the figure's appearance is consistent with the a person but is not clearly distinctive enough to confirm. A woman in a pink sari stands at the right edge.
