A photograph of a shaved-headed figure in saffron-orange robes and an orange head cloth seated cross-legged before a decorated altar, leaning forward toward a small brass object or offering on a low table. Behind him a large framed deity image sits under a floral arch of white and red garlands with a red drape, flanked by two tall brass oil lamps (diyas) on stands. Dark blue curtains frame the backdrop, and a brass lamp and a stack of cloth or books sit on the platform at right. The setting appears to be a puja or Shivaratri observance at an ashram hall.
