A barefoot man with long dark hair tied back walks outdoors on a dusty path holding a black cane in his right hand. He wears a saffron-orange shawl draped over one shoulder, matching orange garments, and a long necklace of large gold beads. Behind him a bald man in white clothing stands near, and a few people in white and orange robes stand under a covered pavilion with coloured bunting and painted pillars. Palm trees, a silver van and an orange stone plinth with a small orange cushion complete the scene.
