Close side-profile photograph of several men seated in a row listening attentively. The foreground man, bare-shouldered, wears a white cloth over his shoulder and a long rudraksha mala, with a small tilak on his forehead and a stud earring. Behind him a second seated man rests his chin on his hand, and at the far right a man in a pale blue-green garment with a mala is partly out of focus. No one wears an identifiable saffron or ornate robe, and the pictured persons are not identifiable as a person from appearance, so no candidate is noted.
