A photograph of a standing male ascetic in a ritual setting before a row of dark stone deity murtis draped in marigold and multicolour flower garlands and jewelled ornaments. He has long matted dreadlocks tied up at the top, a red-brown cloth wrap at the waist over a leopard-print cloth, rudraksha malas across his bare torso and arms, and red wrist threads. He holds a silver rod or staff in his right hand and faces to the left. Before him is a tiered base of orange bricks with a silver vessel at the bottom edge, and a microphone stand is visible at the right. a person is indicated by long dreadlocks, rudraksha malas and ornate ritual dress, consistent with the page, though the figure's appearance is not fully certain. Behind him is a seated dark murti draped in red cloth.
