Outdoor scene beside a parked red and white vehicle under a tarpaulin canopy. In the centre, a bald elderly man in an orange saffron shawl and wire-rimmed glasses looks down while handling something small in his hands. To the right, a figure with long swept-back hair, a white tilak on the forehead, bare chest and a deep red-maroon cloth wrapped at the waist and shoulder, with a long brown rudraksha mala hanging down, touches his own face with one hand while his other hand is held low.
