Four are seated in the foreground: a man in a white shirt and white trousers on the left, a man in a pink-red striped shirt and brown trousers, and two sannyasi in saffron-orange robes, one holding a tall wooden staff and wearing a white and red flower garland with a rudraksha mala, the other in an orange turban and dark rudraksha beads. A older man in white clothing sits on a higher step behind them. The setting is a red sandstone ghat-like stairway.
