A man with long dark swept-back hair and a beard sits cross-legged on a red-and-cream striped mat, smiling as he works with his hands over steel bowls of rice and yellow turmeric powder. He wears a rust-orange shawl over a bare shoulder, a rudraksha mala, a gold chain, and a red thread on his wrist. A small silver cup and folded red cloth sit on a side table at left, and a board with blue panels and a golden deity statue stand in the background.
