Close-up photo of a young man dressed as a Shiva figure in an outdoor festival setting. He wears a tall piled topknot of dark dreadlocks adorned with a silver crescent moon, gold ornaments and a wrap of brown rudraksha beads. A red and black tilak marks his forehead, and he has a thin moustache, gold earrings and a smile. Behind him are blurred hillside trees, red-roofed structures and a bright sky. A gold ceremonial object is visible at the left edge and a golden kalasha-like finial at the lower right. Ceremonial costume and rudraksha suggest a festival procession or darshan tableau.
