Outdoor scene beside a grey concrete block wall overgrown with green vines and palm trees, with patchy grass and a dirt path in the foreground. A man in a white collared shirt and dark trousers, carrying a small device and a shoulder bag, stands at the left. Beside him, a bearded man with long dreadlocked hair wears an orange-saffron dhoti-style garment and rudraksha beads, holding a small white object. A bare-chested man with long dark dreadlocks wears an orange-red wrap and holds a small white item. On the right, a man in a white dhoti with gold borders holds a red and multicoloured parasol with pompoms over a bearded man with long dreadlocks wearing orange robes and a rudraksha mala. Several people stand in a line with a person figure among them: the bare-chested dreadlocked man in orange wrap with distinctive long hair and rudraksha adornment is a candidate, though appearance is uncertain.
