A black and white landscape photograph showing a South Asian man lying on the ground with an alms pot. He is in the foetal position (his knees drawn up to his stomach, his elbows together and his hands partially obscuring his face), possibly asleep. He wears a loincloth and some form of turban. He is lying on fabric in a rough square shape and has a medal pot in front of him (presumably for alms). The camera is positioned in front of and above the man, giving a downward view. A strip of grass or other low-growing vegetation can be seen in the background. Original caption (below the photograph, typed): 'INDIAN FAKIR OUTSIDE TEMPLE OF SACRED TOOTH. KANDY'

The man shown is likely to be a religious ascetic but it is possible that the album compiler's labelling of him as 'Indian' and a 'fakir' is incorrect.
