Outdoor photo of a crouched figure in a saffron-orange robe with long dark wavy hair, bent over a sandy ground covered in scattered red and white flower petals and small debris, near white stepped plinths and a tall ornate stone pillar. A man in a saffron-orange robe with a standing posture stands behind, and a man in white kurta and dhoti with a yellow shawl stands at the left edge; a woman in a white sari with a red border and orange shawl stands at the right in the background. The crouched figure appears to be a sannyasi bowing or touching the ground, with another saffron-robed attendant assisting. Dark ash-like marks lie on the ground near the crouching figure. The crouched person's appearance is consistent with the a person candidate given long wavy hair and saffron robe, but the face is not clearly visible, so identity is uncertain.
