A photograph in near darkness of a bare-shouldered man in profile, smiling, with long dark dreadlocked hair gathered up and a gold ornament at the crown. He wears layered rudraksha malas across the chest and an upper arm band of rudraksha beads, with a small gold earring. The warm, dim lighting picks out the face, shoulder and beads against a black background.
