Several saffron-robed sannyasis stand before a small red-painted shrine inside a temple, its doorway framed by red garlands and a shrine hung with flower strands. A figure in the foreground wears a dark red turban and a white-and-orange flower garland, with his palms pressed together in namaskar and a yellow-bordered red cloth wrapped around him. Beside him, a bald man in white-bordered saffron wears a red-and-gold wrap and holds a staff, while an older bearded man in orange robes and a saffron shawl raises his hands in greeting. A bearded sadhu in orange robes and rudraksha beads gestures toward the shrine. Several other onlookers in casual clothes stand in the background.
