Beside him, an elderly bearded sadhu with a long white beard, white sacred ash stripes on his head and chest, a beaded rudraksha-style mala, and orange-saffron robes sits leaning toward him with his hands clasped in conversation. A third person in orange clothing is partly visible at the top right edge.
