A photograph of a covered walkway with a wooden rafter roof and white pillars, each painted with a black spear motif. A man in a flowing saffron-orange robe and a long gold necklace walks centrally along a stone path, with long dark hair and a tilak on his forehead. Beside and behind him, two men in white dhotis walk barefoot; the older man on the left is bare-chested and gestures toward the path. Sunlight and tree shade fall on the sandy ground, and a palm tree stands at the right edge. The orange-robed figure has long swept-back hair, a gold necklace and saffron clothing, which qualifies as a probable appearance cue.
