Outdoor photo of a bearded man in a saffron-orange robe with a red tilak on his forehead, wearing layered rudraksha-style beaded malas and a gold pendant necklace, smiling and pressing his palms together in greeting. Around him, a shirtless man with long matted dreadlocks and gold earrings stands beside him, and a younger man with a white forehead marking and beaded malas smiles. A man in a striped shirt stands behind them, and a man in white pointing gestures at the right edge. Green trees, a small building and a parked car form the background.
