A young man seated cross-legged on an orange cloth in an indoor hall, hands pressed together in anjali mudra with eyes closed. He wears an orange dhoti and shawl edged with gold borders, a beaded rudraksha-style mala, a white bead necklace, and white horizontal sacred markings on his forehead and arms. Brass puja items rest before him on the orange cloth: a small cup with a spoon, shallow plates with red flowers, a bell and oil lamps.
