A photograph of a long-haired man in a saffron-orange robe sitting cross-legged on a concrete ledge outside a roadside shop. He holds a short orange-and-amber rod across his lap and gazes to the side. Behind him shelves are stocked with snack packets, bottled drinks, jars, Coca-Cola and Fanta crates, and Everyday biscuit packs. A pair of black-and-orange rubber slippers rests on dirt in the foreground. Appearance-based cues such as long hair and saffron robes are present, but a clear identification is uncertain, so this is recorded as unsure.
