Outdoor photo on bare dirt ground at a construction-like site with white single-storey buildings and utility poles behind. In the foreground a long-haired man with bare upper back wears a flowing orange-saffron cloth and brown sandals, walking away from the camera. Seated on a low brick or stone at a ring of grey ash is a person in white clothes with a white cloth tied over the eyes and a white garland around the neck. Two more people in white sit at a distance, one on a brick at left and one on the ground in the middle, both with white head coverings.
