Outdoor photograph at a dusty roadside near palm trees and a thatched hut. A young man in saffron-orange robes, with a shaved head and a smile, holds a silver tray with an offering of orange-red flowers, a fruit and a small bowl toward a bearded man in white kurta and a yellow shawl. Two more saffron-robed sadhus stand nearby, one with a full black beard and long dark hair. Other white-clad men stand around a silver car at left. Behind them is a roadside banner showing a portrait of a woman and the text Nithya Annadanam, a person. Hmm.
