Two saffron-clad sannyasis stand outdoors before a tall, dark stone temple shikhara lit with strings of fairy lights. The left figure wears a deep red turban, a ceremonial gold pendant on a beaded necklace, a red-and-gold sash and a maroon dhoti, with hands joined in namaste. Swamiji (probable) cues are the distinctive red turban, ceremonial gold pendant and ornate attire; the figure is presented as a sannyasi in this photo. The right figure, with grey hair and a bright orange shawl and rudraksha-style beads, stands with one hand at the chest. Behind them are railings, lamps and a few figures in white. Dusk light.
