Photograph of two saffron-robed sannyasis walking along a stone pathway toward a large white gopuram temple tower at Tiruvannamalai temple. The sannyasi on the right has long swept-back dark hair and wears a saffron cloth and a garland of flowers, with a rudraksha-style mala; the sannyasi on the left is bald with a white beard, wearing a deep orange wrap. Around them, men in white shirts and dhotis, some wearing pink and white rosette badges, walk alongside; a woman in a teal sari is at left. Trees and a stone wall frame the scene, and a blue-domed shrine is visible behind them.
