A smiling man with long, wavy dark hair stands before an ornate gold arched backdrop with a pale pink cloth behind him. He wears a saffron-orange shawl draped over one shoulder and bare-chested, with a long rudraksha mala strung with small metal bells crossing his torso and rudraksha bands on both upper arms and wrists. A red bindi marks his forehead and he holds a silver ceremonial staff with a rounded finial in his left hand, while his right hand rests on his hip. A figure with distinctive long swept hair, saffron shawl, rudraksha malas and bells appears in this photograph, consistent with a person in a standing ceremonial pose at a stage event.
