A photograph of an outdoor ritual at dusk beside a fire. A man seated on an ornate silver throne wears a maroon-red dhoti and wrap, a leopard-print headband, rudraksha malas and a gold necklace with a pendant. He rests his hand on a silver staff while smoke and flames rise from a fire pit at his right. A silver tray with offerings and a silver stand sit beside him, and a red building and greenery form the background. Swamiji (probable): the seated man wears the saffron-maroon robes, rudraksha malas, ceremonial gold necklace and long swept-back hair of a KAILASA ritual leader during the Aushada process.
