A seated man in an orange turban and orange robes sits on a stone terrace outdoors, holding a metal tray with a small dish and reaching out to a woman in a pink top and orange shawl who leans forward to receive it. Around them, a group of devotees sit on the ground in orange shawls and saffron-coloured clothing, several with palms pressed together in namaste. A woman in a red cap and sunglasses sits at left, and green trees, potted plants and a white wall form the background. The gathering appears to be a devotional sharing or prasad offering. The man in orange is described here as a robed sannyasi; his identity is not established from appearance.
