Outdoor photo of a stepped white metal staircase with railings set against a tan wall and red tiered seating. A man in a plain white shirt and white trousers stands barefoot on the landing at left. Two sannyasi-style men descend: one in a rust-red robe with long dark hair and beard, bare-chested with a wrap over one shoulder, and one in orange robes with long dark hair, carrying a red bag. A man in a light blue shirt and white trousers walks down below, and a woman in a patterned top sits at the bottom right with a water bottle. The person in orange with long swept-back hair, a sannyasi robe and a red bag shows some appearance cues, but identity is uncertain from appearance alone.
