Night-time photo outside a whitewashed building with a dark wooden door. A man in an orange saffron dhoti and shawl, with a checked orange-and-white headwrap and a rudraksha mala across his chest, stands holding a metal pole with one hand while his other hand rests at his chest. Beside him on the left, a second man in white dhoti and shawl with a rudraksha mala looks away. Behind them are stacked steel vessels, plastic water bottles, a cardboard box and a folded blue tarpaulin. The person in saffron matches the sannyasi presentation of the page's subject, appearance-based and uncertain, so a person is unsure.
