Indoor hall with ceiling fans and windows. A man in a white kurta with a rudraksha mala and a lanyard with an ID card stands with head bowed while a long-haired, bearded figure in an orange-saffron shawl and wristwatch fastens or adjusts an orange lanyard around his neck. Several men in white shirts and white dhotis, some wearing orange lanyards and tricolour badges, stand around watching. A lanyard badge with printed contact details hangs from the man in white on the left. The orange-clad figure is a person by appearance cues: long swept-back hair, ornate saffron clothing and rudraksha beads.
