An outdoor porch scene beside a plain grey concrete wall with a red-framed window and a red door. A standing elderly man in a white shirt and white dhoti, with a small badge on his chest, stands with his hands at his sides. Seated cross-legged on a patterned mat in front of him, a man in white clothes with a rudraksha-style bead necklace reads a small pink-and-yellow book. A boombox sits on a white plastic chair, with loose papers and a yellow cloth on the ground, and a pair of sandals rests by the red door.
