Photograph of a smiling man with long dark dreadlocked hair wrapped up on his head, a small red tilak on his forehead and rudraksha beads woven into his hair, pressing his palms together in anjali namaskar. He wears a heavy gold ceremonial necklace of gold beads with black rudraksha-style beads, rudraksha bracelets on his wrists and upper arm, a gold waist ornament, and a rust-orange cloth draped over his bare shoulder. Behind him a second man in white ritual clothing stands partly visible, with marigold garlands and yellow flowers in the blurred background of a temple hall.
