Three sannyasi-style men in saffron-orange robes walk barefoot on a sandy road in front of a silver SUV with its rear door open. The man at centre carries a silver tray or vessel, and the man on the right wears rudraksha malas and holds an item near the open door. Behind them are tall coconut palms, a low brick wall, a painted red-and-cream signboard with a map, and a saffron flag on a pole. A videographer on the right films the scene with a camera. No clear face-based identification is possible, so the figures are described by role and dress only.
