He is bare-chested, wearing only a white loincloth, with a folded patterned cloth beneath him. He holds a wooden walking stick in one hand and rests the other hand on his knee. A dark metal water pot with a handle sits beside him on the rock. No other people are visible. The man's appearance does not clearly match the a person cues required for identification, so he is described by role only as a bare-chested ascetic sadhu.1981 ISakki Swamigal and MAta Vibhutananda PuriA group sits on bare reddish earth in a hilly, dry landscape at early morning haze.
