A barefoot person in a flowing orange-saffron robe walks away from the camera along a long narrow pale mat laid across dusty ground. The robe is draped over one shoulder and tucked at the waist, leaving the upper arm bare. Behind, a row of grey stone statues of seated figures with tall crowns stands in front of orange-painted buildings with tiled roofs. A small red-painted pedestal holds a white bowl-like object near a tall trident standing upright, and a patterned banner hangs at the right edge. A red-bordered sign sits among the statues, and a few potted green shrubs and bare trees appear in the background.
