Beside him, a man in white dhoti and white shirt carries a red-and-white bag, and a man in a golden-brown dhoti with a red checked shawl walks at the front right. Another man in a striped shirt and white dhoti stands at the right edge. Two-tone dhotis and orange shawls mark the group as devotees or sannyasis.
