Photograph of a bare-chested figure with a red-orange turban decorated with white flowers, a mala of orange and white flower garlands and a brown rudraksha-style necklace, standing with palms pressed together in anjali mudra with eyes lowered. Beside them an older bearded man wearing glasses and an orange shawl over orange robes stands with hands joined. Other devotees in orange robes, a yellow t-shirt and a checked shirt stand nearby in a narrow whitewashed passage with red brick, at a Varanasi ghat. The distinctive turban, flower garlands and rudraksha cues suggest a person as the central figure, though this is an appearance-based label only.
