A photograph of a seated figure in orange-saffron robes and a matching orange turban, wearing a long rudraksha mala, performing a ritual on a dirt ground under trees. Brass puja vessels, a bell, a kalasha-style vessel, a tray of fruit, flowers and a brass lamp sit on a white cloth before him. Around him, several men in white dhotis and white shirts stand with hands folded in reverence, one holding a notebook, and one man in a striped shirt and grey trousers stands at the right. The scene reads as an outdoor puja with offerings.
