Photo inside a pink-walled hall with a green floor runner as saffron-robed sadhus greet one another. A bearded sadhu in an orange-peach turban and shawl, with a long grey beard and mala beads, stands at center holding a silver-topped staff. Facing him, a second sadhu wears an orange turban and an orange vest over an orange robe, his back to the camera. To the left, a man in a striped blue shirt and grey trousers stands barefoot with palms pressed together in namaste. Behind them, another saffron-clad sadhu and a man in a red shirt are visible near an open doorway with red and yellow hanging decorations, and a blue cooler sits on the right beside floor cushions.
