A photograph of a man standing barefoot in front of a golden sunburst backdrop, eyes closed, palms pressed together in namaskar. He wears a rust-red dhoti-style garment with draped folds, a leopard-print turban with his hair knotted above it, a white vibhuti line on his forehead, and many rudraksha malas across his chest and arms. Behind him stands a silver-finished chair and tall brass lamps, with green plants on either side. In front of him is a yellow-tiled square fire pit with a stone grinding slab, mortar and pestle, a wicker basket, and bowls of ingredients on a striped cloth. The scene suggests a ritual preparation setting.
