A photograph of a shaved-headed man seated at a low wooden table with his head bowed and eyes lowered. He wears a rust-red cloth wrap over bare shoulders and a long rudraksha mala draped across his chest. A silver oil lamp with a lit flame and a brass bowl sit on the table before him, with a folded orange cloth beside. A carved wooden pillar and red wall form the background. Several rudraksha strands and a gold chain are visible. Consistent with ritual worship at an ashram, though the exact ritual is not clearly shown.
