Five male sannyasis in matching maroon-red dhoti and shawl robes with golden-yellow borders stand barefoot on wet rocks at a seashore, arms raised overhead with palms pressed together in anjali. Rudraksha malas hang at their chests and several wear bangles. Several have shaved heads. Behind them rises a green cliff face, waves break on the sand, and the sky is pale and cloudy. The scene suggests a devotional gesture at the ocean.
