Street photograph of a long-haired man in an orange-saffron robe, barefoot, with a white tilak marking on his forehead, standing on a paved road and holding a thin stick or rod. Broken coconut pieces lie scattered on the ground around him, consistent with a coconut-breaking ritual. On the left, a smiling man in white clothes stands by a shuttered shop front. Closed metal shutters, a yellow shutter and signboards in Tamil and Hindi line the street, with a xerox and STD/ISD sign visible.
