Outdoor photo of a shaved-headed sadhu in orange robes seated cross-legged on a mat at the edge of a dusty open ground, with a pigeon walking nearby. Behind him a small shrine-like structure with red and white striped plinth holds a framed portrait of a figure in orange, and a loudspeaker stands beside it. Several people in white clothing sit near the shrine. A silver SUV is parked behind, with tall palm trees and thatched huts in the background. Appearance is a seated devotee in orange, not clearly a person; the photo caption attributes an event to him, but the figure's cues are insufficient for a confident identification.
