A man with long swept-back black hair and a crescent moon ornament sits on a silver-backed throne draped with a leopard-print cloth. He wears a rust-red sleeveless top, a red dhoti, rudraksha malas across his chest and arms, and a gold chain. He has eyes closed, a horizontal tilak on his forehead, and holds a coconut in both hands over a wooden stand with yellow turmeric powder. Nearby stand a microphone, a brass deity figurine, silver ritual plates, herbs and a stone. The background is dark foliage at night. Swamiji (probable): the crescent, long hair and rudraksha malas are visible cues.
