A photograph of a single person walking uphill away from the camera along a rocky dirt path through dry grass and scrubby bushes under a pale sky. The person wears a long orange-saffron garment wrapped around the body with a draped end over the shoulder, long dark hair falling down the back, and carries a long staff in one hand. Trees line the trail on both sides, and the sun glows bright at the upper right. The figure's appearance is not clearly distinctive enough to establish an identity from visible cues alone, so the role is described as a sannyasi walking on a girivalam path.
