A group photograph taken indoors in a room with golden-brown marble-patterned walls and gilded deity shrines in the background. Six men stand close together on a colourful woven rug. At centre-right, a man in a saffron-orange dhoti and shawl, with a crown-like headpiece, a sandalwood forehead mark, rudraksha-style beaded armbands and heavy gold ceremonial necklaces, wears a long garland of white and pink flowers and holds his hands together in greeting. Around him, men in white shirts and white dhotis, and in pink shirts and dark trousers, smile toward the camera. One man on the left makes a salute-like hand gesture. A second robed figure in orange stands at the far right edge, partly cut off.
