A photograph of travellers walking through an airport terminal with signage and a glass escalator at right. In the centre, a figure in an orange turban and an orange-saffron robe with a gold border, wearing a long rudraksha mala, walks with an orange-clothed bald man in an orange striped polo shirt carrying a black bag and a blue waist pouch. Behind them, a woman in a cream sari with an orange shawl and a crossbody bag walks beside other passengers, including an older man in a dark polo and jeans. The turbaned figure shows distinctive saffron clothing and long rudraksha beads, but the appearance is not clear enough to confirm identity, so the figure is described only by role as a sannyasi in saffron robes.
