Four shaven-headed sannyasis in maroon and rust-brown robes with gold-striped borders stand in a line at the edge of the sea, arms stretched out to the sides in a wide, open pose. They smile broadly. The man at the front right wears a bracelet and has a tilak on his forehead; the others wear rudraksha-style mala beads and wraps.
