A man with long dreadlocked hair, a gold crescent ornament on top of his head and a horizontal white forehead mark stands with his eyes closed and palms pressed together in namaste, smiling. He wears a red-maroon cloth, a thick red and white flower garland, a layered gold necklace, gold armbands and bangles, and gold earrings. Behind him, a golden kalasha-style lamp stands at right, a red banner and green banana leaves hang behind him, and a red velvet curtain is at left. Several devotees in white with orange-clad children stand in the background, some with hands folded in prayer.
