A photograph taken at a doorway of a white building, with several saffron-clad men entering or standing on steps. In the centre, a man with long dark swept-back hair, gold-toned necklaces and a bare upper body wears a saffron cloth wrapped around his waist and legs, and gold-bordered dhoti-style drape; he appears to be the a person by appearance, with long hair, multiple ornate gold necklaces and a saffron cloth. Behind him, a man holds a bright orange umbrella. To the left, a man with a rudraksha mala and white forehead markings wears saffron. On the right, a shaven-headed man in saffron with a rudraksha mala stands beside an older man in a white shirt and white dhoti. Green palms and white structures are visible outside.
