Around him, men in saffron-orange robes and beaded necklaces walk among others in white shirts and white dhotis. A uniformed official in khaki stands at the far left edge. The figure in the orange turban has distinctive saffron turban and robe cues, but the appearance is not clear enough to confirm identity.
