A man seen from behind stands outdoors on a dusty ground beside a low red-brick wall and a tall tree trunk, with a chain-link fence behind. He wears a dark maroon turban wrapped with gold-toned ornamental cords, a long garland of pink flowers, green and white beads, and red blossoms draped over his shoulder, and a maroon cloth with gold borders wrapped at his waist. His long black dreadlocked hair falls down his back, and he wears a beaded bracelet and a bangle on his arm. The page calls this a person event, but the visible cues are a turban, garland and long hair with no clear face, so identity is uncertain and he is described by role only as a standing devotee in ceremonial attire.
