Outdoors in a dirt yard, a long-haired man in an orange-red saffron robe sits on a white plastic chair, extending his hand to a man in a white short-sleeved shirt and grey trousers who bends forward to offer him a small item. A standing man in a white shirt and dhoti, a young man in an orange shawl with a rudraksha mala, and several onlookers including women in saris and children watch from behind. A striped woven mat lies on the ground, and a brick wall and trees are behind the group. The seated man's appearance is consistent with a saffron-clad sannyasi, but the identity cannot be confirmed from the image.
