Outdoor photograph of two sannyasis in orange robes performing a puja on a striped rug beside a paved path and red wall. One figure with long dreadlocked hair sits cross-legged with his back to the camera, while the other, with hair piled high, sits on a low wooden seat behind a brass tray and reaches toward the offerings. The tray holds brass oil lamps, bowls, a kalasha-style vessel, a plate of rice, a pink flower garland and bundled white cloth. A small metal stand and a red-and-green striped mat sit in front. Trees and a sunlit road are behind them. Tiny printed pedia source text appears in the lower right corner
