A man stands barefoot on a dark stage in front of a black curtain, wearing a rust-red draped dhoti and a leopard-print shawl across his chest and shoulder, with rudraksha bracelets on his arms and a rudraksha-style necklace. He has long dreadlocked hair pinned with a jewelled ornament and red thread, and a vertical white tilak on his forehead. Behind him, rows of brass oil lamps stand on the floor, several lit, and a large screen at right shows warm orange imagery. The photograph is taken from the front, with the man centred and the lamps spread across the stage.
