A photograph of a man seated atop a large grey stone structure decorated with a thick garland of marigolds and other flowers in yellow, red, white and green. He sits with palms pressed together in namaste, has long dark hair swept back, a vertical tilak on his forehead, and a rust-coloured shawl over his upper body. Above him a multicoloured fringed canopy in red, yellow, green, purple and white shelters the seat. Behind, on a metal staircase railing, two attendants in orange-saffron robes stand near a small ornate figure. A red-roofed building sits at the left edge under a pale sky.
