Two men in saffron-orange sannyasi garments with gold trim walk together in a procession before a richly sculpted gopuram tower covered in painted figures under a pale blue sky. The man on the left wears a thick gold necklace and rudraksha mala, a gold armlet and a saffron shawl over his shoulder, and smiles. The man on the right, bare-chested with a rudraksha mala and a saffron cloth tied at the waist with gold borders, holds the other's hand. Behind them, people in white dhotis move through the crowd, and a palm tree and street lamp stand at the left edge.
