A smiling man with long dark hair sits cross-legged on a white cloth scattered with orange marigold petals and pink rose petals, palms pressed together in anjali namaskar. He wears an orange-saffron dhoti and shawl, a thick beaded rudraksha belt, rudraksha and gold armlets, and layered necklaces of rudraksha and white beads, with a gold chain at his throat. A white tilak with a red dot marks his forehead. Behind him stand Varanasi ghat steps and a riverside wall, with a few onlookers and a marigold garland on a blue platform nearby.
