Photograph of a group walking along a paved courtyard path outside a building with white columns and metal lattice gates. In the centre, a long-haired man wears a saffron-orange draped robe and has a red forehead mark; the page flags him as possibly a person, but the cues are not distinctive enough to confirm, so he is described by role as a sannyasi-style figure. To his right, an older bearded man in white kurta and trousers holds a small booklet and wears a lanyard. Behind them, men in white shirts and trousers walk along, one wearing a sandal-style footwear. A sign on the gate reads Registration and another door sign reads Formation Centre. A potted plant and small trees sit beside the path.
