A photograph of a person seen from behind in a saffron-orange robe with an orange wrap draped over the shoulders, raising both palms together above the head in a namaskar or prayer gesture. Long dark curly hair falls down the back. Behind is a rocky, grassy hillside, and a red and yellow railing runs along the bottom edge. Identity is not established from appearance: the figure is not clearly identifiable, and the setting suggests a Himalayan shrine area.
