A barefoot man in a saffron-orange dhoti and wrap walks across a paved courtyard, head bowed and eyes lowered, with a dark rudraksha mala draped over one shoulder. His long dark hair is tied up at the back of the head. Behind him stands a white bus with a painted image of a goddess with a crown, jewelry and flower garlands, beside an orange-walled building and stone sculptures. Colourful rangoli designs are drawn on the pavement, and a woven mat runs across the path.
