A rooftop terrace with terracotta tiles overlooks a green, rocky hill under a partly cloudy sky. Five or six men stand with their backs to the camera facing the mountain. Four wear saffron-orange sannyasi garments with orange shoulder wraps and rudraksha malas; a shaved-headed man in front wears a saffron wrap, and a figure behind wears a saffron wrap over a long orange dhoti. Two men in plain white dhotis and white shirts stand at the left and centre, one holding a folded white cloth. A tall white staff or ceremonial stick rises beside the orange-clad figures. Lush trees and a low white parapet with blue railing frame the scene.
