A photograph of a seated man in rust-red sannyasi robes and a leopard-print turban, with dark hair knotted on top, a white and red tilak on his forehead, and many rudraksha malas across his chest and arms. He holds a brass bowl with a flaming fire in both hands, with his eyes closed. Beside him is a wooden hand-operated press with a rope wound around its central column, and a smouldering pile of coconut fibre sits below. Brass lamps, a trident and a silver throne-like chair with ornate gold backdrop surround him. A man's hand is partly visible at the lower left, and a stone grinding mortar sits at the bottom right. The scene appears to be a ritual preparation setting.
