Outdoor photo beneath a large leafy tree at a dry, dusty site. A figure in an orange saffron robe and orange head covering kneels bent forward with hands pressed together before a concrete base topped with a golden trident (trishula) standing upright. A boy in a light green shirt and khaki shorts stands behind the trident, and an older man in white kurta-style clothing stands further back near parked silver cars and a wire fence. Two men in white shirts and white dhoti-style clothing stand at the right edge watching. A dark blue bag sits on freshly turned earth in the foreground, with a low concrete platform and brick edging behind the kneeling figure.
