Large outdoor group photo at an open paved courtyard with many shirtless men in white dhotis seated and standing on striped rainbow mats. Two saffron-robed figures sit centre front: one in pale robes with long white hair and a beard, the other in orange clothing; a person candidate is seated centre-left in pale robes with long swept-back hair, though appearance is uncertain. Behind them stand golden domed pavilions or ratha-like canopies with tall bamboo poles, and trees line the background. Some men wear orange lower garments and rudraksha-style necklaces.
