A photograph of a long-haired man in an orange saffron garment and rudraksha mala, with a red bindi, raising one arm while holding a gold ritual vessel. Beside him stands a large deity murti with an orange painted face, black crown and jewelled silver-and-gold ornaments, wrapped in yellow and green flower garlands against a dark red curtain. The setting suggests a puja or abhishekam. The long swept hair, saffron clothing and rudraksha cues are visible, so the man is described as a person, in person.
