A photograph inside a plain green-walled room with wooden doors and a framed painting of a deity on the wall. A bare-chested man with shoulder-length dark hair and a leopard-print lungi, wearing a white flower garland, reaches out to embrace or greet a bearded man in orange robes and an orange shawl with a marigold garland. Three other men stand to the right in orange and saffron robes with garlands, and another man in white stands in the background. The greeting appears to be a formal welcome among devotees and sannyasis.
