A barefoot man in a sleeveless saffron-orange wrap walks across a sandy courtyard beside a flower bed, a red bindi on his forehead and his gaze lowered. Behind him, a second man in white kurta and white trousers, with a rudraksha mala around his neck, walks and holds an orange cloth. A whitewashed wall carries a printed sign titled 'Special features of this sacred Banyan tree', and a tree canopy overhangs the scene. The outfit and long swept-back hair suggest a sannyasi, and the orange-robed figure carries a person cues: long hair, saffron clothing, a mala-adorned setting. Identity is uncertain from appearance alone.
