A photograph on a narrow urban street in Varanasi shows a long-haired man in an orange saffron robe and a white undergarment, wearing a thick garland of orange marigolds with yellow and white flowers and red blossoms. He holds a white trident-topped staff and faces a small shop with glass display cases of trinkets and boxes. A shopkeeper in a dark cap and jacket leans at the counter. Other passersby in purple, maroon and cream clothing stand along the lane, and white walls and a shuttered door frame the scene.
