A figure in a saffron-orange robe and draped orange shawl, wearing a yellow and red marigold garland, walks along a paved path past a grey brick building with an open doorway. Long dark hair falls to the shoulders and the figure wears brown sandals. Two men to the left wear white dhotis and white shirts with rudraksha malas, and one carries a rolled cloth. Behind them a blue banner with printed images hangs from a stand. A tall blue chair and stacked wooden poles sit inside the open shed. The appearance matches the swami-style presentation of the a person, with saffron clothing, garland and long hair, but the face is not visible enough to confirm.
