A row of seated sannyasis in saffron and orange robes and turbans sits at low brass-tray puja tables before a red draped backdrop hung with marigold garlands and small decorative plaques. In the foreground a woman in a green and gold sari with a red bindi and gold bangles holds currency notes and a small red box toward the seated figures, while a child and a raised phone appear at the left edge. The nearest seated figure, wearing a rust-orange turban, long dark hair, and a rudraksha-style mala, receives offerings with a bowl of silver dishes and a small oil lamp in front of him. Brass plates, red gift boxes and steel bowls fill the tables.
