A photograph of a workshop hall with bright ceiling lights and a tiled floor. Five men walk left to right. The man at right in a rust-red dhoti and shawl, with a white forehead mark, long hair, a rudraksha mala and a gold-coloured waist cord, is smiling and walking beside a saffron-clad sannyasi in an orange cloth and orange head-wrap. Another saffron-clad monk behind him holds a framed picture. A man in a white shirt and dark trousers walks at left. A worker seated at left sits near a yellow bucket, and wooden carts and tools are visible at the edges. The man at right has distinctive long hair and rudraksha cues, so he is a probable Swamiji; the rest are monks and staff.
