A photograph of a bearded man standing in front of a dark stone wall decorated with strings of small lights and hanging brass bells. He wears a rust-red draped garment, multiple rudraksha malas, and a large ornate gold necklace; a gold crescent-style crown sits atop his hair, with a red tilak on his forehead and white markings. He raises one hand to his ear in a gesture while a silver trident stands at the left edge beside a carved wooden pillar. A figure with long swept-back hair and ceremonial gold ornaments appears in this setting; the page does not place a person at this event, so identity is uncertain.
