A bald man in saffron-orange robes with a matching orange shawl and a small red tilak on his forehead walks along a dirt path, raising his right hand in a wave. Behind him is a green metal gate, a parked silver sedan on the right, a palm tree, and a red bicycle leaning against a building. Two or three people in white clothes stand near the stairs in the background. Visible white-clothed figures in the background are partly seen, and no clear appearance-based a person cues confirm identity beyond the saffron robes and shawl.
