A standing man in a yellow turban with a small decorative spray and a yellow-and-gold robe stands in front of an arched niche framed by bands of red, green and purple flower garlands. He wears layered pearl and bead necklaces, a long rudraksha-style mala with pink and orange flower garlands draped over his shoulders, gold armlets and bangles, and holds a pink flower and a wooden staff in one hand while raising the other in a blessing gesture with a smile. Ornate gold-plated panels flank the niche, and brass oil lamps with peacock-shaped stems burn on either side, one with a visible flame. a person appearance cues: swept-back hair under the turban, ceremonial gold and pearl ornaments, and yellow ornate clothing. The photo carries a copyright and source caption in the lower right corner, which is not described further.
