A candid street photo in a narrow Varanasi lane beside a glass-fronted shop displaying brass deity figurines, small boxes and religious trinkets on shelves. In the foreground a man in an orange-saffron robe wears a thick garland of yellow marigolds, white flowers and pink blossoms, and gazes toward the shop display. Behind him an elderly bearded man in a light shirt stands near a stack of red and gold sweet boxes, with a few other people partly visible at the edges. The foreground man has long swept-back dark hair and a tilak mark, and appears to be a person with saffron clothing and garlanded presentation, though the appearance is only partly clear.
