A photograph inside a hall with framed photo collages on the walls, one labelled "Reviving Hinduism" and another "The Mission Worldwide". Two women in the foreground, shown from behind, wear orange dresses, orange beaded necklaces and black blindfolds over their eyes. Seated on chairs in front of them are several saffron-robed sadhus: one bare-chested man with ash-smeared skin and white beaded necklaces, a bearded man in an orange turban, and a man with long dreadlocks and beaded necklaces holding a clipboard. An older bearded sadhu in orange with ash on his forehead sits at the right. No figure in the scene shows distinctive a person cues, so no identification is made. Walls hold a fire extinguisher, a ceiling speaker and a security camera.
