A barefoot man walks along a sandy path lined with blue-edged mats, wearing a rust-red dhoti and a matching shawl wrapped over one shoulder with gold borders. He wears a heavy gold bead necklace with a pendant, a gold bead headband, dark beaded armbands and bangles. Behind him, a second figure in orange stands near a red patterned cloth. A white board with Kannada text hangs on an orange wall beside palm fronds and a bare tree. The man's appearance is consistent with a presentation of the page's subject, but the cues are not distinctive enough to confirm identity, so he is described by role as a walking devotee in ritual dress.
