A bearded man with long, curly black hair and a red vibhuti or kumkum mark on his forehead stands outdoors in saffron-orange robes, holding a silver tray with a clear glass pot wrapped in white jasmine garland. A coconut and green leaves rest on top of the pot. Behind him are a silver SUV, palm trees, a concrete-block wall, and an orange flag at the top edge. The setting is a dusty ground. The man is a devotee or priest; his appearance shows long hair and saffron clothing but not distinctive enough cues to confirm the a person candidate.
