Two young male ascetics in saffron-orange clothing sit cross-legged on a mat in a hall. The figure at centre, wearing an orange turban and orange wrap over bare shoulders, blows a long brass horn with a flared bell. He wears rudraksha beads, bangles and a necklace, with white markings on his arms. Beside him, a second ascetic in a matching orange turban and wrap sits with hands resting on his lap. In front are steel tumblers, paper cups and banana leaves holding food. A gold-embossed panel and red draped table stand behind them. No identification of either person is made.
