A photograph of a seated group of sadhus in saffron and orange robes. A bald man on the right, with orange tilak on his forehead and a rudraksha mala, raises one hand while speaking. Beside him a woman in a red turban and red-and-gold saffron wrap wears a heavy gold bead necklace and smiles broadly. A bearded sadhu with orange tilak sits at the far left, another white-haired sadhu sits behind, and a partially visible man with curly grey hair is at the lower left. The wall behind is pale marble with horizontal lines, and a red floral cushion is visible. No printed captions are legible in the frame. Visible cues for a candidate include a crown-less turban and ornate gold beads on a red-clad figure; the appearance is not conclusive, so the identity is uncertain.

Four people sit close together indoors against a pale marble-patterned wall, with a patterned red cushion behind them. In the centre, a smiling person wears a rust-red turban with a vermilion tilak on the forehead, a rust-red robe with a gold border, and a heavy multi-strand gold bead necklace. To the right, a bald, smiling older man with a tilak and rudraksha mala wears orange robes and gestures with one raised hand. Behind them, a bearded man in orange robes sits with his head partly visible, and a person in a grey-white beard and orange robe sits at the left edge.
