Beside him, a sannyasi in orange robes and an orange turban with a gold ornament, wearing a rudraksha mala, holds a trident-topped staff in one hand and raises the other in a blessing gesture while seated on the stones. Behind them a man in orange clothing holds a small orange object, and a person in blue holds an umbrella overhead.
