A narrow stone-paved lane in an old Indian city, with a metal tray of offerings held by a monastic figure in a rust-orange shawl and head wrap. The man in orange, with a dark beard and a rudraksha-style mala at the wrist, holds a steel plate piled with oranges, fruit and two small bowls of sweets. A younger man in a pink shirt and grey trousers leans in to take an item from the plate. Behind them, shops with Lay's chip packets hang on the left, an elderly woman in a face mask sits at a stall, and a person in a blue cap stands further down the lane. Peeling pale walls and a painted lotus mural line the street, with parked bicycles and a timestamp reading Jan 13, 2022 at the bottom right.
