A photograph of a single man in a flowing saffron-orange robe walking barefoot across a rough stone surface beneath large trees, holding a long wooden walking staff in his right hand. He has long dark swept-back hair and his face is in profile. Dry fallen leaves cover the ground, and behind a wire fence there is a reddish earth mound. The appearance of the figure, with long swept-back hair and saffron robe, is a probable match for a person as a walking sannyasi, though the face is not clearly visible.
