A photograph of a man with long dreadlocked hair bowing low, forehead pressed to a stone ledge, in an act of reverence. He wears a large garland of red roses, white flowers, green leaves and yellow roses around his neck, a gold hoop earring, and a saffron-orange shawl with a golden border over his shoulder. Blurred figures in orange and white clothing stand in the background of a temple hall, and a metal pole or lamp stand is visible at right. The setting suggests a padapuja offering at a guru's feet.
