The monk on the left wears an orange turban, orange shawl and a small red tilak on his forehead, and smiles while resting his hands on his lap. The monk on the right wears an orange turban and orange robes, a dark rudraksha mala around his neck, and long dark hair, gesturing with one hand while speaking. Behind them hangs a framed sepia photograph of a group of men walking barefoot in traditional dhotis. Low tables with floral-patterned cloths and a yellow cloth sit in front of the bench, along with a small metal vessel.
