A photograph of a man seated cross-legged on a circular raised mound of earth outdoors. He wears a saffron-orange robe draped over one shoulder and a long dark rudraksha mala around his neck, with long swept-back dark hair. His hands rest in his lap and he gazes to the side. A brass vessel stands on a woven mat beside him, a green cloth lies on the ground, and white floral kolam patterns decorate the mound, surrounded by a ring of white ash. Behind him is a red wooden cart with large wheels. Appearance-based probable identification as a person based on long swept-back hair, saffron robe and rudraksha mala cues; the page indicates Pada-Puja at this event.
