A photograph of a man seated on a concrete step in front of a yellow-green painted doorway and a red-and-white painted wall. He wears an orange saffron shawl draped over his bare shoulders and a long ornate gold-toned necklace of beads. He has white sacred ash on his forehead with a red dot, and his eyes are closed with his mouth open as if speaking or chanting. Beside him, a standing man in white dhoti and white upper cloth, with a gold bracelet on his raised wrist, is partially visible at the right edge. Appearance-based label: a person, with the saffron shawl, gold bead necklace and long swept-back hair as the distinguishing cues, seated in the role of a devotee in conversation or chanting.
