A photograph of two saffron-robed sannyasis in a plain room with pale lavender walls and a beige cloth-covered surface. On the left, a bare-chested man in rust-brown dhoti and sash, wearing a long rudraksha mala, a white vertical tilak on his forehead and a gold earring, leans forward and smiles while receiving a basket of apples and oranges. Facing him, a man in an orange turban, orange shawl and glasses holds the fruit basket out with both hands. A third figure in orange garments stands behind, partly visible. Whether the figure on the left matches a person cannot be confirmed from appearance, so the role is described as a person receiving fruit offerings.
