Outdoor scene beside a whitewashed wall and a corrugated roof. A shaved-headed monk in saffron-orange robes with a rudraksha mala draped across his shoulders and a hoop earring stands with his back to the camera, his bare arm held by a woman. She wears a blue blouse and a light blue floral sari with a red bindi, her hands clasping his arm and her face turned toward him as she speaks. Dried palm fronds hang on a pillar to the right, and a small shop with a glass-front shelf of packaged goods sits beside her.
