A smiling man stands outdoors with palms pressed together in anjali mudra, wearing a maroon and gold turban with gold ornaments and turquoise beads, a bare upper torso draped in layered red and pink-white flower garlands, a heavy gold ceremonial necklace with a central gold pendant, gold armlets, and a maroon dhoti with gold borders. Wisps of smoke drift around him under a leafy banyan-like canopy. Behind him, slightly out of focus, another person in orange robes stands. The turban, garlands, and gold ornaments suggest a ceremonial occasion, with the bare-chested figure presenting distinctive adornments; identity is uncertain from appearance alone.
