Photograph of a seated man in a red-maroon robe on an ornate red velvet throne with gold-edged arch, wearing a rudraksha mala over the shoulder and a red tilak on the forehead. A fire pit with bright flames and scattered pink flower petals sits in front of the platform. Behind him, a kneeling attendant in orange robe and yellow dhoti holds a mala, and dark foliage surrounds the scene at night. The seated man has long dark hair and gold shoes; a homa or fire ritual appears to be taking place.
