A thatched open-sided shelter with bamboo lattice walls and a concrete floor. In the centre, a tall figure in an orange saffron robe with long dark hair stands barefoot beside a small wooden stand holding a carved wooden object and a brass bowl. Behind him, two people in white clothes stand near a stack of large dark metal drums and cylindrical containers, and a man in a white shirt and white dhoti stands to the right. A torn poster on the bamboo lattice shows a grey figure. Bags, bundles of wood and a cloth-wrapped parcel lie on the floor.
