A night photograph of an outdoor temple-type setting lit by pink flash glare and strings of green lights in the background. In the foreground, a man in a rust-red and gold-bordered draped garment and a long gold-beaded necklace stands beside a granite block, one hand extended toward it, with a red bindi on his forehead. Behind him, a second man in a similar rust-red garment with gold borders walks on stone steps. The first figure has short, dark hair; no long swept hair, crown or turban is visible, so his identity is uncertain.
