Outdoor photo on a bare dirt ridge under a clear blue sky. A central figure in an orange-saffron robe, wearing an orange turban, long hair, and a multicolour flower garland, stands with palms pressed together. Around him, people in white dhotis and shirts and several in orange shawls stand close, some with hands folded. A man at right holds a yellow cloth bag. The setting suggests a ground-breaking or inauguration visit.
