Dusk photograph of a concrete-block walkway between a cinder-block wall and a stone-and-block pillar. A long-haired man in an orange-saffron robe and sandals walks at left beside a uniformed police officer in khaki with a belt, while a man in white dhoti and shirt with an orange shawl walks at right. Behind them, a dark striped and white-patterned cloth draping stands near tented shade, with several people in white and colourful saris and dhotis gathered in the background. The orange-robed figure shows distinctive long hair and saffron clothing, but appearance is not strong enough to confirm identity, so the role is given as a sannyasi-robed man.
