Close photo of a bare-chested figure wrapped in a wet, clinging saffron-yellow dhoti, water streaming from his raised arm and body. On the right, a person's hands, adorned with a silver bracelet and wristwatch, hold a shallow polished metal bowl catching the falling water, which is. Droplets scatter across the dark stone background. Only the torso, legs and hands are visible; no face appears. The figure's identity is not visible.
