A bearded old man on the right wears a white turban-style cap? No: he has white hair and a long white beard, a faint tilak on his forehead, and a blue-grey shawl over his shoulders, sitting with his hands extended toward bundles. Beside him a bald older man in a light shirt and dhoti sits with hands near the bundles. On the left, a turbaned elderly man in a brown wrap and white cloth leans forward, and a woman in a lavender patterned sari sits with her face in her hand. Around them are a steel tiffin carrier, a metal pot, cloth sacks, a rolled bedding bundle, a bamboo carrying frame, and a red plastic bag. Standing people in white kurtas and colourful saris fill the background among market stalls.2013-02-10
