Dusk on a dirt road with a pink sky and dark hills behind green shrubs and tall cypress trees. A man in white dhoti and shawl with a striped border stands barefoot with palms pressed together in namaskar, wearing a bindi and beaded necklace. Beside him, a man with long dark hair and a headband wears a flowing saffron-orange robe and a long rudraksha mala, walking barefoot with a smile. Behind them a man in white clothing stands near a silver car, and another man in white with an orange shawl stands at the right edge by the open car door. No candidate's appearance meets the required cues for a confident a person identification, so the saffron-robed figure is described only by role as a sannyasi.
