A photo of a long-haired man in an orange-saffron dhoti and shawl, wearing a multi-strand gold necklace with large gold beads, gold armlets and bangles, and a red tilak on his forehead. He stands before a carved stone pillar or altar wrapped in red and yellow marigold garlands, holding small white flowers and a red bloom in both hands at his chest with eyes lowered. Trees blur in the background. Appearance cues are consistent with a person performing a flower offering, though the face is not used for identification.
