Outdoor photograph of a central man in an orange saffron robe with long dark hair swept back, wearing a multi-strand rudraksha-style bead mala, bare-chested beneath the robe, seated and speaking with an open smile while his hands are folded in front of him. He is surrounded by children and teens in maroon uniforms with gold trim, many seated on the ground and smiling, some with palms pressed together in greeting. Behind them stand boys in red and striped shirts, and an orange flag flutters on a pole at left under a white sky.
