A photograph taken from a low angle of a man in an orange-saffron wrap and sleeveless top, with a dark rudraksha mala around his neck, reaching up with his right hand to touch a tall copper flagstaff. The pole is wrapped with rope and decorated with white jasmine garlands and dried grass bundles around its wooden-carved base, which shows a small seated sculpted figure in a niche and a few yellow flower petals on the ground. The sky is pale and overcast. The man has long dark hair swept back and his eyes are closed. Recognition as a person is not established from appearance alone; the page does not state he is present.
