A standing man in a reddish-brown turban and reddish-brown silk-look robes stands barefoot on a dirt ground with his palms pressed together in prayer, holding a small bunch of red flowers. He wears layered white and pink flower garlands, a long necklace of gold beads, rudraksha-style beads on the wrists, and a gold waist ornament. Scattered red and white flower petals and a small floral arrangement lie on the ground beside a red mat, with a red wall and corrugated metal sheds behind him. Swamiji (probable): the cues are the long swept hair under a crown-like turban, ornate gold necklaces and garlands, and ceremonial clothing, consistent with an in-person ritual reception.
