Three smiling men in red-and-gold sannyasi-style robes stand together under a canopy with colourful tasselled decorations at what appears to be a temple or ashram event. The man on the left, with shaved head and a red bindi, holds a wooden pole; the central man, with shaved head and white marks on his forehead, clasps hands with the man beside him; the man on the right has short hair, a white tilak and a rudraksha mala. All three wear orange-red dhoti-style cloth with gold borders and rudraksha malas. Behind them, devotees in orange and white saris and a golden flag are visible. No clear identification of a person is established from appearance, so the a person field is unsure.
