A man in saffron-orange dhoti and shawl stands on a dusty hillside path holding an object raised in one hand, with a small brass vessel in the other. Behind him is a small orange-fronted shrine with a framed image and red-and-white garlands, a striped mat on the ground, and a tall rocky hill under a hazy sky. An orange flag flutters from a sapling beside the shrine, and a small umbrella-like canopy shelters the area. The figure's appearance is consistent with a sannyasi in saffron clothing, but the face and identity cannot be confirmed from the image.
