Outdoor photo at a temple-like courtyard with a red wall and a parked dark SUV behind. A bare-chested man with long dreadlocked hair and a short beard, wearing a reddish-brown saffron-toned wrap, lifts a long garland of white and pink flowers over his head with both hands. Beside him, a priest in a white dhoti with a brown shawl and rudraksha-style beads holds a tall wooden pole. A wooden box holding more garlands sits in the foreground, and a red stone pillar stands at right. The garland appears to be a ritual offering during an event.
