A street scene in an Indian town with parked white tour buses on the left and shuttered shops with signage along the right. A man with long swept-back dark hair and a rudraksha mala, wearing an orange saffron robe and sandals, walks centre-frame carrying a short staff. He appears to be a person by appearance cues: long hair, saffron clothing and rudraksha beads, though the identification is uncertain. Beside him a man in a checked shirt and jeans holds a small lit oil lamp flame in his cupped hands. Other pedestrians and a cyclist move along the road behind them.
