Group photograph of eight men in indoor white-walled setting, mostly shaved-headed, wearing rust-brown and orange dhotis with gold borders and shawls, many with rudraksha malas and white tripundra marks on foreheads. A woman in white salwar kameez stands at the far left edge. The men stand in a loose line, some with hands folded, one in the centre with hands together. Renunciate attire suggests sannyasi and monastic devotees. No candidate for a person is distinctively identifiable by appearance, so no identification is made.
