A photograph of a long-haired man seated cross-legged on a stone ghat step beside a river, bare-chested beneath a flowing saffron-orange wrap. He wears a gold-toned forehead mark and a multi-strand gold bead necklace, and holds a silver trident upright with one hand while the other rests near a brass vessel. Behind him a man in white clothes and a white cap stands at the water's edge, and a brown leather bag and sandals lie on the steps. a person by visible cues: long swept hair, saffron wrap, gold necklace and trident, seated in ritual posture at the riverbank.
