Outdoor photo at an open-sided pavilion with a corrugated roof and strings of small triangular orange and pink flags overhead. A man with long dark hair and a red bindi stands in the centre wearing a saffron-orange wrap, a dark rudraksha mala around his neck, and his hands clasped in front. Behind him stand dark stone sculptures of deities and a cobra-hooded figure on red-based pedestals, a multicoloured ceremonial pillar hangs at right, and a red-cloth cart is at the edge. Palm trees, a silver pickup truck and a rangoli-decorated ground with a brass kalasha-like vessel and mats complete the scene.
