Outdoor photo of a saffron-robed sannyasi with a shaved head and white tilak on his forehead speaking into a handheld microphone, wearing a long rudraksha mala and a marigold garland. Beside him, a silver trident with ornate scrollwork is held upright by another orange-robed figure in glasses, and to the left a man in orange holds a white and red flower garland. Behind them are a wrought-iron fence and a cream wall with maroon stripes. The speaker's appearance does not clearly match the a person cues, so he is described by role only.
