A smiling man stands outdoors in front of a pale sky and a chain-link fence with green foliage. He wears a rust-orange dhoti-style garment with a gold-yellow border, long white flower garlands with red rose accents, a thick brown rudraksha mala, gold earrings and a gold pendant. White sacred ash marks his forehead with a red dot. Behind him, two men in matching orange garments stand; one on the left holds a tall yellow staff and wears a rudraksha mala and red-beaded bracelets. A bald man in the background wears a brown shawl.
