Photograph of a man standing in profile with palms pressed together in namaskar beside a stone platform and a tall brass oil lamp with a bird-shaped finial and lit wick. He wears a rust-red turban with a gold ornament and a feather, a rust-red wrap and dhoti, a gold waist chain, gold bangles, and a garland of white jasmine and pink flowers. Long dark dreadlocks fall down his back. Behind him hang pink and orange draped cloths and a carved stone pillar with relief sculpture. He stands on a leopard-print cushion over a striped mat. The setting resembles a temple shrine, and the man is a devotee-style figure performing worship; the appearance cues are a long-haired man in saffron-red robes with a turban and rudraksha-style adornments, though this is not a confident match.
