Outdoor photo on a dirt path beneath a large banyan tree. A central figure in a flowing saffron-orange cloth with long, swept-back hair and a red mark on the forehead walks forward with hands at his sides; the cues are long hair, saffron clothing and a forehead mark, but the identity is uncertain. Behind him a bare-chested young boy in an orange dhoti stands with hands joined near a dark stone murti and a pile of red offerings. To the right a bearded sadhu in orange with a white forehead mark and rudraksha malas stands near a shrine. A woman in a red-brown sari with gold border walks at left, a man in white clothes stands beside the central figure, a woman in a patterned salwar with hands folded in namaskar stands at right, and a woman in a white shawl bends forward in front of a small child in red. A small child in red stands in the foreground on the path.
