Three shaved-headed sannyasis in rust-red robes sit cross-legged in meditation on a sandy beach before a weathered rock wall. The central figure has eyes closed, palms open with a mudra, white vertical tilak on forehead and white markings on arms, wearing glasses, rudraksha mala draped over shoulders and arm bands of rudraksha beads. Figures to left and right also sit in meditation, one smiling, with rudraksha malas and white forehead marks. Light grey rock formations lie around them.
