A long-haired figure in a bright saffron-orange zip-up jacket and a heavy gold bead necklace with black spacers stands outdoors on a paved road, holding a coconut in an open palm with flame rising from its top as a ritual offering. A red tilak mark is on the forehead and a thin rod or staff rests over one shoulder. Behind, a man in a dark zip jacket, grey trousers and a lanyard with an ID badge stands looking on. Probable Swamiji cues are the swept-back long hair, saffron clothing and gold necklace, shown in the act of offering a burning coconut.
