Three men in saffron-orange sannyasi attire stand under a green steel-framed shelter, smiling and conversing closely. The central man wears a rudraksha mala, a rudraksha headband, a white and gold necklace and an orange dhoti with gold border. He is smiling broadly and appears to be the centre of the greeting. The man on the left, bare-chested with a saffron cloth and a rudraksha headband, is seen from behind with white ash markings on his back. The man on the right wears a red shawl and has long white beard and swept-back hair, with a gold necklace. A uniformed official in khaki stands behind, with a woman in red partly visible at left.
