A bare-chested man with long swept-back dark hair, a red-brown shawl, a heavy gold necklace and rudraksha bracelets raises a bundle of green leaves overhead while smiling and looking down. Beside him, a young attendant in an orange head wrap holds a metal tray with offerings. A red upholstered chair with an ornate silver backrest and a microphone stand sit at right. The man is an appearance-based a person candidate (long swept-back hair, ornate gold necklace, shawl) presiding over a leaf-sprinkling ritual, possibly a sprinkling of sacred water or abhishekam-type rite.
