Outdoor photo of a central standing man in a rust-brown dhoti-style garment with an orange-gold border, wearing a heavy gold necklace of large beads and a long orange-gold shawl, plus a white tilak stripe and red bindi on his forehead, and matching brown armbands. He is flanked by two younger attendants: on the left a man in a white cloth with rudraksha-style beads and a white forehead stripe, and on the right a boy in an orange robe with a mala and white forehead stripe. Behind them stand pink and gold draped decorations and figures in a shrine-like setting with a gilded arch, a tall orange pillar and green foliage in warm sunlight.
