Photograph of a smiling man with long dark hair and a short beard, seated outdoors among a crowd. He wears a rust-red sleeveless robe, a dense rudraksha mala, a gold pendant, and a thick garland of red roses, yellow marigolds and white jasmine. Petals fall around him, and a vertical red mark and white paste mark his forehead. He raises one hand while others stand behind him in orange shirts and orange headcloths. A red and silver ornate chariot or palanquin is visible at right.
