A seated man in a rust-red sannyasi robe with leopard-print headwrap and long matted hair, eyes closed, palms pressed together in namaskar. Layers of rudraksha malas hang across his chest and arms, with a gold chain at his neck and a white-and-red tilak on his forehead. In front of him sit a dark stone mortar and pestle and a brass mortar, beside tall brass oil lamps and a smoky incense haze against a glowing golden backdrop. a person is described by the rudraksha malas, matted hair and sannyasi robe; this is an in-person photograph with one person visible.
