A photograph taken from inside a bare white hall looking out through a doorway toward a palm-lined courtyard. Three saffron-clad figures walk toward the viewer: on the left a figure with long hair and a rudraksha mala in orange robes, in the centre a bearded sadhu in orange with a mala, and on the right a long-haired figure in a flowing orange-red robe with a large gold necklace, appearing to be a person based on the long hair, ornate gold necklace and saffron clothing. A small child in white stands near the doorway, and a white vehicle is parked outside among palm trees. A steel vessel sits on the floor inside the hall.
