A photograph of a seated man in red and maroon ritual garments beside a small fire on a stone platform. He wears a leopard-print headband, dark rudraksha malas, a gold pendant, armlets and bangles, and sits cross-legged on a white stool. Flames and smoke rise from burning wood in a metal fire pit, with a bright orange flame in the foreground. To his left, a person in an orange turban and orange robe leans forward, and two more people in orange and red sit behind a metal pot near a red-walled building with lanterns and garlands. The scene suggests a fire ritual with a Swamiji (probable) candidate presiding, the appearance cues being the swept-back hair, leopard headband, rudraksha malas and red-maroon garments.
