A photograph of a standing man with eyes closed and hands folded at his chest, wearing a maroon-brown sari-style garment, a long multicolour marigold and chrysanthemum garland in yellow, orange, and purple, gold chain necklaces, rudraksha bracelets, and a forehead vibhuti mark. Long dreadlocked hair falls over one shoulder. Beside him on the left, a man in orange robes holds a tall golden staff, and bare-chested sannyasis in orange cloth stand in a row. Behind, a figure in white dhoti with a gold border stands near a blue and yellow banner pole. A small yellow-brick fire pit with offerings sits at lower right, and the setting is an open pavilion with red walls.

A sandalwood tilak marks his forehead. Behind him on the right, a man in cream dhoti with a gold-bordered shawl stands beside a large drum, and on the left a person in orange cloth holds a tall golden staff while another holds a brass plate. Smoke or incense haze fills the dim night setting with a crowd behind. The scene reads as a ritual gathering. Appearance-based cues: long swept-back hair, rudraksha malas and garland, but no crown, throne or ceremonial gold necklace visible, so identity is uncertain.2017-10-19A bearded man with long swept-back dark hair stands in anjali mudra, palms pressed together, wearing a rust-red dhoti and a thick garland of red and white flowers, with heavy gold necklaces, bangles and an armlet. Behind him, a man in orange clothing holds a tall gold staff, and a photographer in white with a camera stands among other devotees in orange and white. The setting is an outdoor ritual gathering with greenery behind.
