A bare-chested priest with short black hair and a red thread around his neck stands with his back mostly to the camera, holding a bundle of green mango leaves in his raised right hand and sprinkling water in a purifying gesture. He wears a yellow-orange shawl over his left shoulder and a white dhoti with a purple border, with a clay pot or vessel held at his side. Behind him are a maroon curtain, a pink wall and ceiling lights.
