Three shaved-headed men in saffron-orange robes stand indoors in a hall with beige walls and a dark curtain. The centre man, with white tilak on his forehead and rudraksha mala beads across his chest, looks down holding yellow flower petals. The man on the right, wearing an orange shawl with gold border and rudraksha beads, touches the centre man's forehead, while the man on the left holds beads and turns toward them. Their appearance does not show distinctive a person cues, so they are described by role only.
