A group of men walks along a dirt path through open land with scattered trees and a rocky hill range behind them. At the centre-left, a man with long swept-back dark hair wears a saffron-orange draped garment and a long ornate gold-beaded necklace, and carries a rudraksha mala in one hand. Around him, men in white dhotis and shirts, one in a cream shirt and light trousers, and others in pale yellow shirts and dark trousers walk barefoot or in sandals. Probable Swamiji is the saffron-clad figure with long hair, gold necklace and rudraksha mala, walking at the centre of the group.
