Outdoor photo at a garlanded shrine area with a thatched canopy decorated with yellow and orange marigold garlands, and a red carpet on the ground. A bare-backed figure in saffron/orange cloth with long dark hair, seen from behind, stands at left facing a white-clad man in a white shirt and dhoti holding small items in his hand. Beside them, a figure in white and orange-saffron drape stands near a tree trunk, and a man in a light shirt and dark trousers stands at right. A stone memorial or samadhi-like structure with garlands is in the background, with a temple tower visible beyond the trees. The figure in saffron could be the a person by visible appearance, but his face is not visible and the identification is uncertain.
