Three orange-robed sannyasis sit on a metal-framed bench: on the left a bald man with white-marked forehead and saffron shawl, in the centre a man in saffron robes with a maroon-and-gold headpiece and a beaded white mala, and on the right a young man in a bright orange turban and orange robe with long dark hair and a dark rudraksha mala, smiling and turned toward the centre. A man in white with a gold-bordered shawl sits at the far left beside a microphone, and additional audience members are visible in the background. Whether the young man in the orange turban is a person cannot be confirmed from appearance alone.
