A man in flowing saffron-orange robes stands barefoot on a wooden boat deck on a river at dawn, raising one hand in a greeting gesture and holding a silver trident in the other. His long dark hair is swept back and he wears a rudraksha-style necklace. Behind him a red flag flutters from a bamboo pole, and red-and-white painted boats with small figures in them drift on the calm water under a pale blue sky.
