A photograph of a shaved-headed?no. A sannyasi in an orange-saffron cloth draped over his bare upper body holds a dark, glossy black sphere aloft in both hands during a Sudarshan Homa ritual. He has long dreadlocks wound up on his head, white vertical markings on his forehead, a beaded mala necklace and several beaded wrist bands and bangles, and a dark tattoo on his upper arm. Behind him are ornate golden and green temple-style decorations, a red drape and drifting smoke from the fire ritual. The frame carries a Sudarshan Homa and Vijayutsavam Day 5 caption, 25 Feb 2022.
