A photograph of a standing figure seen from behind on an outdoor stage. The person has very long, dark dreadlocks reaching the waist, bare upper body with white markings on the arms, a rust-orange dhoti, and a rudraksha mala at the waist, holding a silver-coloured object in one hand. Before them stands an ornate silver peetha throne with a silver canopy, a silver deity murti in a niche garlanded with white flowers, silver kalasha pots on stands, a brass lamp, and a yellow and multicolour cloth on the floor. A microphone stand is nearby. The figure appears to be a person, identified by the long dreadlocks, rudraksha mala and ceremonial attire, presiding over the ritual setting.
