Outdoor photograph on a dusty dirt path at an ashram compound. A barefoot man in white dhoti with gold border, bare-chested, holds a peach-coloured umbrella aloft over a man walking beside him. The walking man wears an orange-saffron fleece jacket and matching orange dhoti, has long dark hair swept back, a thick beard and white tilak marks on his forehead. Behind them a woman in a multicoloured sari is partly visible. Background shows white tents, a red-walled building with green metal roof and gold finial, parked white cars and scattered rubble. The walking man with long hair, saffron clothing and tilak is a possible a person candidate by appearance, though the identification remains uncertain.
