Close photo of a seated figure in saffron-orange robes and a draped orange shawl, holding a long rudraksha mala of dark brown beads strung with gold spacers between both hands. Green leaves and a gold-coloured vessel sit at the right edge beside them. The face is out of frame, so the figure is described by role only as a person in orange sannyasi-style clothing performing a ritual with a mala, and no identity is established from appearance.
