A photograph of a smiling man with long dreadlocked hair wrapped in a leopard-print headband with a white flower, a red tilak on his forehead, and layers of rudraksha malas and beaded bracelets over a maroon sleeveless robe. He holds a long metal tube that exhales smoke, beside a silver bowl and a small flame on a metal stand, amid smoky purple haze, with a silver-backed chair and red building behind. Context suggests an aushada purification process with smoke from burnt cowdung.
