The sannyasi on the right wears an orange turban, long dark swept-back hair, a sleeveless orange robe and a rudraksha mala, and holds out both hands to receive the offering. Beside them stands a bearded man in an orange robe with a gold-coloured necklace and glasses, and a shaved-headed man in orange behind. Several men in white dhotis and shirts stand around, some smiling and clapping, and a young man in an orange shawl with a camera watches nearby. The scene appears to be a ritual welcome or offering at a temple or ashram hall.
