Outdoors on a dirt path beneath leafy trees, a man in a violet dhoti and orange-red shawl walks forward, wearing a multi-strand rudraksha mala, a gold pendant and gold armlets. Behind him a second man in orange robes and orange shawl walks, and to the right a bald man in orange robes and dark beads carries a long white rope or staff over his shoulder. Small scattered stones and a low brick edge line the path. Bright green foliage and hazy greenery fill the background.
