In the foreground a bare-chested man in an orange cloth wrap walks toward the camera, with dark swept-back hair and a ceremonial marking on his forehead; the page notes a person at this event, but his appearance alone is not sufficiently distinctive to confirm, so he is described by role as a devotee in orange.
