Two saffron-robed men stand at red iron gates with a bright yellow sign reading 'Viveka Dwar' above a pile of papers. The taller man in the centre wears a long dark rudraksha mala, a flower garland of orange and yellow blooms, and a saffron dhoti with gold border, with his hair tied up at the back; he is reading or handing over printed pages. Beside him a younger man in an orange shawl and rudraksha beads studies the same papers. Two more saffron-clad figures stand behind the gate, one wearing glasses. Hindi and Sanskrit signs flank the gate, and a tree and a pale wall are behind.
