Outdoors on a dirt ground with palm and leafy trees behind, a tall man with long, swept-back dark hair and a bare upper body wears a loose orange-saffron wrap and stands at right, extending his hands toward a young man in a pink-and-white checked shirt who holds up a printed portrait of a long-haired person. Several other men in white shirts and white dhotis stand near, with a stack of bricks and gravel at right. The visible long hair and orange wrap are appearance cues for a person, though the figure's identity is not established from appearance alone.
