A bare-chested man with long, swept-back curly hair, an orange rudraksha mala coiled on his head, and white ash markings with a red bindi on his forehead, presses his palms together in front of his face with eyes closed. He wears gold and rudraksha beaded necklaces and a leopard-print yellow shawl draped over his shoulders, with white bands on his upper arms. A grey ritual staff or sword blade is held between his hands. The background is a bright yellow and blue backdrop with smoky light.
