A man stands under a covered open-sided pavilion decorated with marigold and multicoloured flower garlands hanging from the roof beams. He wears a rust-orange draped robe with a gold-bordered cloth wrapped at the waist and a long multi-strand rudraksha mala of brown beads with small gold spacers hanging across his chest. He has long swept-back dark hair, a red tilak on his forehead, and holds a folded orange cloth and a small dark object in his hands. Behind him, a man in white clothes and a red lanyard sits on a plastic chair, and a white-clad figure stands at the left edge beside a wooden structure. Dirt ground and a metal frame are visible. Swamiji (probable) is indicated by the long hair, saffron robe and rudraksha cues.
