A photograph taken from behind of a bare-shouldered man with very long dark matted-style hair falling down his back, wearing a thick red flower garland and white jasmine garlands over his shoulders, with copper-coloured armlets on both upper arms. Around him, men in orange and saffron dhotis and shawls stand with hands folded in anjali, and a woman in an orange sari stands at right. Ornate red, orange and pink ceremonial umbrellas with tassels and a golden trident-topped staff are held above, and a brass lamp with flames, coconuts, bananas and flower offerings sits at lower right. The setting is an open paved courtyard under trees.
