A photograph taken outdoors of a bare-backed man in an orange saffron cloth wrapped around his waist, long dark hair falling loose and swept back, seen from behind and turned toward the left. Behind him a crowd of people stands along a concrete pathway, including a man in a blue t-shirt, and another man in orange clothing holds a camera. A bright white sky fills the background, with a yellow-vested man in the lower left corner.
