Outdoor scene at a temple-like compound with a red-and-white open shelter and a red wall behind. A bearded man with long dark hair and a red-orange-and-saffron sash over his bare upper body stands beside a dark SUV, smiling, with a tilak on his forehead and a gold ornament at his neck. A second man in a white dhoti with long dreadlocks, holding a tall wooden staff and a set of keys, stands at left. A third person with dreadlocks tied up is seen from behind in the foreground, bare-backed. The man in the centre has long swept hair and a mustache-and-beard look, but the cues are not distinctive enough to confirm identity, so he is described only by role and appearance.
