A seated group of saffron-robed sannyasis and swamis sits on a floor covered with red cloth in a plain room with pale green walls and a white door. Most wear orange robes and white flower garlands. In the centre, a smiling person with long dark hair and a red bindi wears an orange robe and a white jasmine garland with red and yellow accents. Beside them, an elderly man in an orange turban and orange robe sits with hands folded, and another in a pale pink-beige robe sits nearby. Green leaf plates with flowers lie on the floor, and a water bottle sits in front. The scene appears to be a formal assembly of swamis, and the room is lit by daylight.
