Outdoors at a stone temple setting, a bearded sadhu stands in the foreground wrapped in a grey shawl, his face and head smeared with ash and wearing a large headdress of red, orange and yellow pompom-like fringes. Behind him, several people in yellow, green and white garments and head coverings move past stone walls under a corrugated metal roof. The figure's face and beard are the focus, with a bright, saturated headdress framing his head. No candidate matching the a person appearance cues is evident, so the figure is described by role only.
