A photograph of a shaved-headed, long-haired? no — a man with long dark hair seated before a decorated deity murti. He wears a saffron-orange dhoti-style robe, a thick rudraksha mala with gold bead spacers, a pink-and-white flower garland, gold bangles and a gold armband, and tilak markings on his forehead. He holds a rudraksha mala in his hands and looks down. The deity murti on the right, adorned with a gold crown, orange shawl and garlands, is surrounded by red, yellow and green flower garlands. Behind are a colourful painted backdrop and a golden throne-like seat. A silver plate with offerings sits at left, with a person in an orange robe partly visible at the edge.
