A person in an orange saffron lower garment and a red upper garment bends forward on a dirt road, lighting or tending a long red string of crackers or firecracker fuse laid on the ground. Palm trees, a low brick wall, a small white van, and parked motorcycles are in the background. The person appears to be a sannyasi or devotee; the face is not visible. Appearance cues are limited to orange and red clothing, with no crown, rudraksha mala or other distinctive adornment visible, so identity is uncertain.
