A smiling young man in a saffron-orange sleeveless wrap stands on a dirt path among tall trees, with a dark rudraksha mala draped across his chest and a red tilak on his forehead. He holds a long wooden staff in his right hand. Stone blocks lie on the ground at left, and a partly visible person with a bag stands at the right edge. Appearance cues are a shaved-looking dark hairstyle, orange robes and rudraksha beads, so the identity is uncertain and he is described only by role as a sannyasi-style devotee.
