A photograph of a man seated cross-legged on a small orange cushion on a paved outdoor ground, palms pressed together in front of his chest in a namaskar gesture and eyes lifted upward. He wears a flowing saffron-orange shawl over the shoulder and torso, with lighter orange cloth on the lower body, a small red bindi on his forehead and dark hair tied back. A brass vessel sits in front of him on the cushion, and a patterned mat lies beneath. Behind him are sand heaps, a yellow vehicle and a large tyre. The figure's long swept hair, saffron clothing and ritual posture are appearance cues, but the presentation is not distinctive enough to confirm identity.
